News of Postpartum Depression Forum

I am 11 weeks postpartum and have never felt so imbalanced in my life. I feel very sad, and have no personality. I haven't felt myself in 2 months and I have become so desperate to feel better. Ever since I lost sleep about 2 months ago I haven't been the same.. I have started seeing a therapist and psychiatrist. He put me on 5mg of Lexapro to start and will up the dose to ...

Hello all...this is a very long one, but I hope some will take time to read it and respond.
I am a 27 year old dad of 2 children. My son is 6 and my newborn daughter is 5 months. My wife had PPD after our first, but I felt like there was a lot of blame to go around with that. For starters, we moved away from family for my first "real" job out ...

My fiance is afraid of postpartum. She wants to have a child, but it scares her and since she put her fear in my mind, it has stirred a little of my own. She's BPD, so her moods are unpredictable sometimes. I'm afraid because I've heard of women thinking their baby is demonic, so they murder him/her; some women kill themselves or attempt suicide.. She had tendencies in the past and still has the urge ...

My story and my coping ways....Hope it helps for you too!

I have had depression most of my life it has been a huge struggle. I did not want to get help for it for many years as i thought i should be a strong woman and be capable of looking after myself. I was wrong and after years of depression i took some simple steps and i feel so much better, not 100% but ...
