I had may daughter Sept.3 2013 I also have a 2 year old (turned two yesterday). 
I've always had problems with my knees since a bad car accident in 2009, one night October 21st, 2013 my daughter and I fell down the stairs, she has to fractures at the back of her head, and I have a badly injured knee so bad that the orthopedic took blood out of my knee, and still waiting to see what I did to it.  I've been fighting with the fact that my own body betrayed my daughter and I. I haven't been wanting to be left alone, i've been wanting almost constant company. and feel very emotional.  I don't understand why i am so emotional unless i'm dealing with postpartum and depression of this.  Has anyone else delt with this?

    Definitely speak to your Doctor and seek out a mental health professional if able. We are build to deal with chaotic situations for brief amounts of time. Being under chronic stressors for a long time can limit out bodies ability to respond appropriately. Having talk therapy in addition to medications can get your brain chemicals and hormones back in check so that you are better able to deal. Starting with a company EAP program can be a free option for support.

    Definitely talk to your doc.  You know that you're feeling very emotional.  Letting things out will probably make you feel much better.

    I would say speak with your medical provider, it could be PTSD or a combination of anxiety/depression, you are right in the prime time for postpartum. OR maybe  just fears of what could and did happen. Your first stop would be to your doctor and then maybe think of seeing a counselor to help process what happened and how to take back control of your life :)
