Baby blues/PPD

I've got it. I feel super anxious all the time. About NOTHING. I can cry (and do) at nothing and the thought of my children growing up and not staying little seriously puts me into a hysterical fit! I know it'll get better-it got better with my first daughter... but I just want to know that I'm not the only one. What kinds of things set you off and make you upset?

    The growing up thing really upsets me too, although I can't say I haven't cried about it when not pregnant...

    Mostly I feel like I have major period crankiness going on.  And I don't want DH to touch me, at all.  DS just turned 1 month, and I feel like I am starting to get better with it now.  A little anyway.

    You're not alone. I'm 12 days out and it's definetly better. A few days there Iwas crying at everything. So not like me. Everyone was worried but I just reassured them it was normal.

    I'm dealing with the same baby blues feeling. Mine gets better with adequate sleep, but I'm teary and crying about stupid crap when I'm tired.

    With previous pregnancies I've had full blown PPD.  This is far worse than just the baby blues that is normal. If anyone starts to feel as if they are in danger with their depression definitely reach out before it gets bad.

    Last week I would cry just looking at DD and thinking about that stuff. My mom stayed with us for a while (they live out of state) and I would cry after she left thinking about her not being there. It has gotten better, but I could still cry at the drop of a hat.

    I had the baby blues pretty bad for about a week. It was almost bad enough for me to call the doctor, but I decided to let it go unless I hit the one week mark, since that's what my discharge instructions defined as a "normal" amount of time. Thankfully it started to let up before I had to call. My biggest problem was that I was not prepared for the way in which every single aspect of my life changed. Plus, I felt like a total shut in never leaving the house or going outside since it's so cold here. I'm feeling much better now, although the sleep deprivation and breast feeding struggles do still make for some frustrating days and tears sometimes.

    Right there with everyone.  The hard part for me is two fold.  First of all, no one talks about this so you are utterly unprepared for the hormone hell storm that is unleashed post delivery.  Second, I am with many of you in the sense that I don't feel depressed, but anxious.  I still have help here until Monday, but the thought of being alone with baby while my husband is at work for 13 hours makes me panicked! Not that I don't know how to take care of him, but for some reason being alone sets me off.  I went to the doctor a week after delivery after not being able to eat for days due to such bad anxiety and they have been immensely helpful with Identifying some options.  Going back today to talk about any progress and will let everyone knows if I find something that works!
