So I had my 6 week pp check up yesterday. And was diagnosed with postpartum depression. Ugh it kind of hurts to say that ...
A little over a week ago I went to my ob because I just couldn't handle myself anymore. I was crying all the time, overwhelmed, restless, getting little to no sleep even when lo would sleep, I felt alone, and like everything was my fault along with other things. I never have had any bad thought about my baby or really myself. But my ob just thought maybe it was the baby blues gave my a months worth sample of Viibryd which is a antidepressant.
So I'm on day 12 right now, you start out the first week at 10mg then the second week goes up to 20 mg and then you go to 40 mg and that's what you stick to. So far it has helped me a lot. I'm not completely better but it's helps.
I had to take a ppd survey at my appointment and I scored a 15, she said my official diagnoses was postpartum depression! She also highly highly suggest I see a councilor but worried that night be a bit far and not sure I will go through with that or not. Although with everything I have been through in my life I do think I could definitely use it...
Pointless thread really just can't believe it ...
Am I alone?
Does it get better?
