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.
Have been going through ppd for a while now, and I feel like it's never going to end. I have good days but most of my days are bad. My husband doesn't understand. I know he tries to be supportive but he still lashes out at me for not cleaning up after the kids, etc. and my crappy sleep schedule, but I have insomnia and honestly, that's the only time I can be alone. I just feel like everything in my life takes twice the effort now. I feel like I'm a bad mom for wanting time away from my kids and I find it so hard to do the simplest things. Someone tell me I'm not alone in this.
Have you tried talking to a psychiatrist, therapist, tried meds, etc.? I know it sounds patronizing, but all the above truly helped me climb out of the darkness. LMK if you need support, here for you!
