Postpartum depression

Anyone else think they may be dealing with this? I can't stop sobbing everyday when the sun goes down. Debating whether or not to call the doctor.

    I've had the blues, but I'm reluctant to call it ppd, I've just been crying about really random stuff, so I think it's hormonal. If you are concerned that you have ppd you should definitely talk to your doctor.

    I am the same way and I think I am dealing with ppd. I cry a lot, mostly at nighttime like you. How many days pp are you? If you are two weeks out definitely call. I'm 8 days pp and saw my LC today and she suggested I call because I cried in her office. It takes a few weeks for the medicine for ppd to go into full effect so the sooner you talk with your doctor the better.

    My hormones are insane. I'm really emotional and cry at anything. I think a large part of it for me is sleep deprivation. I'm averaging 1-3 hours a night. Baby is 3 days old. This is so hard but it's my second child and it does get easier.

    My discharge instructions told me if it is continuing after 2 weeks that's when to worry. But it's no joke so it can't hurt to ask even if it hasn't been 2 weeks.
    My crying is usually at night as well. It has to be some circadian rhythm stuff too because everything is harder and hurts more at night too.

    I say call your OB. PPD is no joke, it sucks. It messes with you on so many levels. I had PPD with my older two, I tried hiding it from everyone. It consumed me entirely, I spent more time trying not to feel sad. It had a terrible impact on our bonding. I didn't get help for weeks and mine only got worse. Eventually I was diagnosed with PPD with psychotic features and OCD. Please reach out and get the help you need!

    I'm 4 weeks pp and the blues are still hanging around so I'm thinking I'm dealing with it. My anxiety is off the charts. Not having any adult interaction has me feeling isolated. I cry mostly in the mornings as I begin the day and anxious about getting through it. I've always dealt with a little seasonal depression and I'm super anxious and dreading the season changing because I'm fearful of the seasonal depression getting worse because of this. My little sister died in April and feelings of her loss have also been hitting me hard again lately and I'm crying over that a lot. I miss my Mom who lives 10 hours away(the only person from my side of the family that is left.) I worry about my son and want to make sure he has a good life. Plus I'm still dealing with traumatic feelings from my emergency c-section. I break down in tears when I'm alone and try my best to put a happy face on when my husband is home.

    I feel like all these emotions have just hit me at once. I took antidepressants once like 8 years ago and felt they turned me into a zombie(tried 3 different ones) so I'm kinda against medications. I'm going to mention it at my 6 week pp visit.

    I think I am going through some ppd too. My thoughts are all about people in my life dying. My mom, baby and husband. It's making me so anxious and sad. I cry often. What do they do to help with ppd? I already take meds for depression.

    I've been through such a traumatic 19 days since his birth, my body can't take anymore and I've been crying all day. I'm talking to my doctor in the morning. Depression is no joke (I've battled since age 12) so just bring it up to your doctor, you'll feel better either way
