PPD I just need to talk
cbreef

I've got it bad. Let me preface this by saying I'm calling my doctor tomorrow morning for help.
I had to a really stressful pregnancy and a difficult delivery and now I have a very colicky baby. I am at my wits end. I can't enjoy my LO as she's either asleep or screaming. BTW we're working with the pediatrician to get her on the right formula.
I just want to run away. I went out to visit a friend in the hospital today and DH stayed home with LO. I stopped at the gas station to buy a diet coke and I almost bought a pack of cigarettes too. I don't want to start smoking again!! So I'm eating my feelings instead. I snack all day, but nothing seems to satisfy me.
I'm really nervous about taking medication because I've taken almost all of them at some point in my life. I'm really hoping that it will be different this time and they will work.
I don't want to sleep unless I can sleep all day, which isn't going to happen. I don't want to hold the baby. I feel very distant from her. It's awful.
Thank for reading. I just had to get that out.

Re: PPD I just need to talk
Do you have anyone to give you a break? More of a break than a errands run? I hope the meds work out for you.
I struggled with depression after my dad passed away abs I refused to ask for help and it was really tough.
Hoping that you can find a medication that will work well for you and get you back to feeling like yourself!
Get it out here whenever you need to. I hope things start feeling better soon.
You are already doing well by knowing that you need help and getting some. Hope you can find love and support. Hang in there!
DS born 9/3/13; DD born 7/22/15; LO due 5/28/18
FS (age 5) and FD (age 2) to become AS/AD very soon!

I too am going through something similar. Somedays I am very emotional and at my wits end. Know that you aren't alone.
Thoughts and prayers to you.
