Hi, Ashlee! I think you're amazing to be so young and already juggling two little ones. I'm sorry you're experiencing PPD. It's horrible. I went through it after my third baby and it was so incredibly rough. Even thought it's been a few years since I went through PPD, I blog about it now because I want to help spread awareness of it and also let mothers who are suffering know about the great, free resources that are out there to help. If you'd like to, please visit my blog at: http://ppdsurvivor.blogspot.com. If you see anything there that might help you or have a question or just want to talk, you can always leave me a comment on the blog. I hope you're doing okay today.
Warmly,
Kristin

Ashlee, you are a mom. Wow! Your children are beautiful and I am so proud of you being so young and taking care of those babies! Please know that PPD is just temporary and it will end. Please make sure you get medical attention for it so it will go away. Find a local support group or church where you can get support. You will be in my prayers. Jen

I agree with reply #1 because I also was 16 years old when I gave birth to my first child and I had severe PPD or could be even considered postpartum psychosis. I was experiencing symptoms 10 months after my daughter was born. I had it so bad that I attempted sucicide. I now have four children and I am 26 years old, my life is going great; however, 2 years ago I had my daughter who of course is now two and I got postpartum psychosis again. I attempted sucicide again (but this time I was almost successful) and it was sooo horrible. I look back and cant believe the crazy thoughts that went through my mind. But I feel better now and I want all new moms and moms who are not aware to become aware of how detrimental this can become. Take care

Hi Ashlee. Congratulations on your new baby. PPD is rough but it is treatable. Check with your doctor to see what treatments are right for you. You may need meds, counseling, or both. Good luck. Remember it's treatable - I'm a survivor. :-)

I am here if you need to talk i have three children and ppd
