Post Partum Depression Support Group
Postpartum depression (also postnatal depression) is a form of major depression which can affect women, and less frequently men, after childbirth. It is widely considered to be treatable. Studies report prevalence rates from 5% to 25%, but methodological differences among the studies make the actual prevalence rate unclear.
hi everyone, I’m 30 years old and I’ve had 3 miscarriage this year alone. It’s really disappointing but after getting the D and C procedure done this last time, everything feels so different. I feel so emotionless. I could be thinking of a puppy, butterflies, the ocean or even a baby and I feel nothing. I just want my life to end. No one should go through life unhappy. I look at my wife who has been very supportive and it makes me want to run away. I do live with many types of mental illness but for some reason this feels different. I’ve never felt so sad and ready to be out of this world than I do right now. I don’t think that I will ever try for kids again because I would need to get genetic testing done and that’s too expensive. But I’m just doubting everything my wife does for some reason and I’m just so tired of living. Everything that made me happy in the past I don’t really feel excited about them anymore. Have I lost myself? I was only 6 weeks along when they did the D and C so I. Really surprised that all this is happening...just wanted to vent. Thanks
I had an early miscarage before my son and it changed me on a profound level. After having my son, the post pardon issues I was having felt so familiar. Though it's not typically recognised, I feel that I had post pardon depression after my miscarage. The hormones mixed with the grief were one of the hardest things I've ever lived though. But with closure time and honest grieving light started peaking through.
Please be patient with your body and yourself. You are worth it.
