wandering onto this board 4 advice (my story)

in Postpartum Depression

[[Deep breath in.]] Please don't flame. So, I was on lexapro (sp?) for a few months prescribed by a regular Dr., and I did feel better. I've always hated taking any kind of meds (don't like the way they make me feel), I'm bad about remembering to keep up with them.

So when I ran out I never got it refilled and just stopped. Well, several months later I feel everything worsening again. Lots of anxiety, yelling at H, getting frustrated with DS. I'm also to prideful to go talk to someone. My sweet hubs has been very supportive, but now he's saying he doesn't want to live like this / something's gotta give.

When I was a little girl, & a teen I went to counseling...but was also made to feel it was a luxury because it was expensive. We were poor then, & not doing to great now. On top of everything there's that guilt. I want to be happy for my family, but I want to get over it myself. Is there a way? Anyone else going through this? TIA! [[Deep breath out.]]

    i think its worth it to get help...PPD and depression arent something you can just "get over". If you don't want to be on meds, then I would definitely get counseling. Put your pride aside, and ask for help. I know its hard, but you want to be happy right? For you and for your family...
