In response to a thread in third trimester I am hoping you can help me. I have suffered from major depression every year for the past 5 years. My episodes come from stress (finding out I have fertility issues, financial crisis 5 years ago etc). I've tried 8 years for this baby and came out of my last depression when I heard about my miracle baby.
I am currently in the middle of a divorce from my husband who seems convinced I am destined to be postpartum after baby arrives. I am hoping that because my fertility issues were a big part of my depressions that I won't be postpartum. But I have to be realistic. Medication never helps me, only my situation changing (my finances, my marriage, my pregnancy).
If anyone has been through PPD and could share what helped or didn't help you, how long did it last, if you suffered from depression before etc I would greatly appreciate it.
If you feel more comfortable sending a private message I understand and would appreciate that as well.
Many thanks
