So I'm finally admitting to myself that i'm pretty sure i've got postpartum depression....I just don't feel right and i've been reading up on it.. I have many signs and symptoms of it.... I'm not sure how to deal with it. But I want it gone so that I can feel happy about life.
I'm exhausted all the time, sex is non existant, and I feel like i'm a total failure. I'm trying to cope with everything. I've got a very sick baby in the hospital who isn't coming home for 2 more months, we're due to move in a month, Jays going to be going to school, i'm having troubles getting my milk flowing... There's just so many things going on and i'm starting to feel overwhelmed. I just want to cry all the time and it's starting to effect OH. I'm snappy and nagging at him all the time for the smallest things. I'm just not a happy person and i'm not the most enjoyable to be around. I always used to be laughing and smiling. Now I look exhausted all the time and I just feel hopeless and unattractive..
Today we got news that Angel has to remain on CPAP until further notice because she was desatting on nasal canulla.. I tried to have a cuddle with her and held her for 2 minutes before she desatted to 49!!!! I felt like shit and all I could think was that it was my fault and that I just can't do anything right. I feel so helpless
I'm sad and scared because i've never been depressed before.
Ladies help. What can be done for me? Who here has experienced PD and how was it treated? How did you feel afterwards? Did you get better? I am going to ask the nurses at the hospital tomorrow if I can see a counselor and see if I need some meds. I really don't want to deal with this for a long time...
