PPD

I am 10 months post partum and I feel like i am never going out of it. I am even going to therapy and taking meds and I feel like none of it works.

i’m 18 months post partum never knew if i was overthinking, have regular depression from the start, or if it’s ppd. i’m going to therapy and taking antidepressants still feel the same.

Pp depression can come anytime in the first year pp and your hormones do not regulate for several years after wards.

@jamie that’s how i have been feeling as well. I haven’t started therapy or anything but I noticed it was getting worse because I have been starting to pick fights where there is nothing to fight about

that’s exactly how i am nothing seems to help either way

@Gaby im about 18 months PP and im just trying to figure it out I don’t want to take medication

I understand not wanting to take medications. And I don't think your over thinking it. Have you tried just talking to someone? Just talking to someone can help, and knowing they understand. I am here if you need someone to talk to but don't ever think your over thinking it. We all heal differently and go through postpartum differently. And it's okay, just know your not alone.

@Gaby thank you so much I have tried talking to my fiancé but he doesn’t really seem to understand. I love him but he doesn’t understand

I honestly feel like some men don't and won't understand what we go through. I have the same issue with my husband. He tells me he gets it and than gets frustrated when I don't look happy and I'm just not okay.

@Gaby that’s the exact same way my conversations have been and then when I just look mad or have a small attitude he is like what did I do wrong and I’m like nothing it’s me like I can’t explain it

i’m almost 4 months post partum and still feel the same way i did in the very beginning. some days i feel as though i am getting my old self back, but for the most part i still feel as though i am in what they call the “newborn trenches” and my girl is technically not even a newborn anymore
