Postpartum depression
I’m 6 weeks postpartum and have had so much happen. I’ve been taking everything like a champ and have had so much patience. But now that things are settling, I feel like I might be getting postpartum depression. Anything my child (almost 6yrs old) does irritates me, my husband tries to be nice but it’s just too much and I push him away. The only thing I want to do is just be in bed with my baby. And I know the signs and symptoms very well. I’ve previously had anxiety and depression and also have BPD. I am very aware of my behavior and I hate that no matter how much I recognize and acknowledge it, I can’t make it stop. It’s driving me insane that I feel so conflicted like this and I can’t stop crying. And I know I’m being so mean to my daughter and my husband but I can’t stop myself? All I can do is isolate myself from them but then all I do is cry alone.

Same here. I know what I’m doing but I can’t stop. I have PP rage bad I’ve had it since my first, going on #3 now all back to back and my rage has never improved
Same here I already suffered from depression/anxiety so I figured I would have it. It’s hard to get myself to do a lot of things but I’m glad I’ve been able to take care of my baby
3 weeks PP you’re not alone. Doing the same thing for weeks and weeks everyday all day all night barely getting an ounce of help because my husband has to work and needs enough of rest to work is catching up to me

First I wanna say I've been there. The hormone changes really make things hard. The amount of times I had to go throw the ball with my dogs outside to get rid of the anger I felt towards my daughter is unreal. This time around I started meds right after birth cause I anticipated it. Even now being 3wpp I'm already feeling the anger and frustration and anxiety I had last time too. It's definitely ok to need meds for it. If you need to talk my dms are open
