possible ppd?

hey mums, i’m almost 4 months postpartum and i can’t help but feel sad all the time. today was my 21st birthday and i just couldn’t enjoy it, even though there was nothing wrong. it only started a few weeks ago. i started feeling very insecure with how i look and now it’s turned into me thinking i’m a horrible mother. this is causing a strain on my relationship. is it possible to develop ppd 4 months pp? where can i go for support?

It’s possible, as far as going for support definitely talk to your doctor. My son’s pediatrician has me fill out a questionnaire every visit about my mental health, and my primary care doctor gave me resources for counseling for mothers. I also have a doula who sends me resources as well. So definitely reach out to them!!

Definitely, sorry you’re going through that. I have ppd and I know how awful it can make you feel. I got really excited for Christmas this year as it was my first with my baby and her dad but after opening presents it felt like any other day and it really really got me down, even with the help of my medication. The support I’ve got in place is cbt and I’m on sertraline, it’s helping but not massively so waiting for my review to request to up it. Talk to your doctor and see what they can do for you, really open up about how you feel and they’ll hopefully be able to help you out. I promise with the help it can get better, do your best for you and bubba, you’ve got this and you’re not alone 🩷

@Ceecee this is exactly how i felt on christmas, all year i while i was pregnant and after my daughter was born i was like “yay this will be our first christmas as a family” but on the day i felt absolutely nothing no matter how hard i tried
