We have been chatting daily and we want to help each other any everyone who would like to talk. No pressure, all confidential. Every crazy thought you have had I had and she prob did too. I wish I knew about this along time ago. We are PPD survivers and we want you to know you can talk to us! please read my previous post and you will learn a few things about me.

I met denise through this message board. We know  how you must feel. It sucks and it is lonely. Please don't give up. We are here if you need to talk and vent. We have lived it. I felt so alone and crazy even though I knew what was happening. I know people don't get how bad it can be and we are here for you. Try to see a doctor sooner if you can..no sense waiting if you don't have to. Email one of us when/ if you need to. It is nice "talking" to denise she knows how I felt etc. We just chat listen to each other and support one another. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I know you may not believe me, but I was at a point where I didn't think I would ever see it. Best of luck.

I sent a private e-mail.  I had a rough day today.  I wish this would just go away.

Thank you so much for the encouraging words and support.  I feel as if my life as I knew it has ended.  Life is crazy now.  Maybe it always was but my tolerance is gone.  I worry about my kids constantly.  Today, at my 18 and 16 year olds school I got a text message about there being a gun threat and to come and get them.  I freaked out!!!!  They were safe and the police were doing their jobs as well as the teachers and staff.  I felt like my world came crashing and I needed to see my daughters.  This is what I mean.  I panic about the smallest things.  I know guns are bad but I come from a military and police father so I usually don't freak out on things like that.  I am constantly cleaning and get so agitated if things are out of place.  I am getting rid of all baby items and cry at the drop of a hat.  I feel as if I am yelling way too much and not problem solving like I need to.  I feel as if I have disrupted my whole home.  Thanks for giving me a place to talk and vent. 

 

Please see your doc about this, though.  There is no shame in it.  I wish I hadn't been so stubborn and had sought treatment 9 years ago.  I felt ashamed, like it was a problem with me like a character flaw.  It wasn't.  Now that my moods are stable, and I enjoy my life I am glad to be one "those people", LOL!  Just don't feel afraid to talk about what you are going through. 

Get Better
