Understanding PPD

Should I still be concerned about PPD if I am only depressed away from my LO? I am not just talking sad, but full on anxiety and tears when I leave him at all. Is that still PPD? I never want to go out and will actually find any excuse to stay home. I don't even want to be around my husband ever and get jealous when other people hold my baby. Not sure if any of that is PPD, but I have never experienced that before.

    I don't know if that is considered PPD or not but I just wanted to let you know that I'm here for you! I too am suffering from PPD and it sucks! I think a lot of momma's are suffering in silence and I only wish we could all band together and help each other out!

    I started taking Zoloft for PPD and it has made a huge difference.  I'm still just as sleep deprived, LO is still very fussy (though we are working on treating her reflux and feeding challenges) but I feel the dark cloud has lifted.  If you are concerned, speak to your OB or therapist, if you have one.

    I'd say PPD or not you should talk to you Dr or a therapist. It always helps to get it out.

    I don't mean to ask too personal a question, so feel free to tell me I'm being a nosey btich, but are you having any side effects from the Zoloft? I'm seeing a therapist and am considering starting Zoloft as well, but I'm super nervous about side effects. And even though I know it's safe for BFing, I'm terrified that it will somehow harm my baby.

     And sorry to jack your thread, OP. I would talk to your doctor if I were you. It can't hurt to get a professional's opinion.

    Zoloft is fairly well studied but it doesn't come without side effects. I started having hallucinations. It is a pretty uncommon side effect, but don't dismiss the risks, and learn what to expect before you start taking it.

    Its not really PPD, its an anxiety issue. My SIL had the same thing after her LO was born. She is on a low dose of xanax to help. She was so anxious when she went to work, that her hair started falling out. She isn't cured, but she deals with it a whole lot better now. Talk to your family doc or OB

    I agree with PPs remarking that it's more anxiety. Talk to your OB or a trusted doc. You don't have to feel this way, and I know it's miserable. :| GL to you!

    Sounds more like anxiety. You should talk to your doctor.

    I Would say anxiety or maybe being a ftm. I Would suggest Tallking to someone as its not normal to not want to spend time with ur dh or trust him with ur baby; unless there are real reasons not explained
