Exactly what I was afraid of...

in Postpartum Depression
I had post partum depression with my first daughter. I was so afraid I would have it again, but I told myself it probably had a lot to do with how her birth happened and how she was in the nicu after for a while. I just gave birth to my second daughter on thursday and the birth could not have gone any better, yet I still got the post partum depression again. Worst part, this time is SO much worse than it was with my first. I can't eat, sleep, or really breathe correctly. It gets worse and gets better. I started on the zoloft as a precaution when she was born, and when it started effecting me on friday night, they doubled the dosage to 50mg. i hope it starts working soon. I don't know what to do. My husband is a police officer and works 12 hour night shifts which means he sleeps during the day. I have to be able to be alone with both my kids. Ive found over the past couple days that I can't even find the will in me to function with my daughter who is 2 & 8mos. She is what I'm used to and I would hate for this to effect her because i can't handle her sister. I don't even know what to do. =\

    Definitely get some help soon!
    I feel your pain. My husband is a state trooper and works 12 hour shifts. It's so hard!
    Do you think the Zoloft is making you feel worse? It can do that from what I hear.

    It may take a few days for Zoloft to kick in... Do you have any friends/relatives you could call in for small bouts of relief or help? I'm sure being alone with the kids isn't helping you stop spiraling. See if you can get in a little walk- with or without kids. T&P <3
