I am in a vicious downward spiral and I think I've come close to the bottom. I was diagnosed with PPD shortly after I had my second daughter who is now almost 9 months old. When I was diagnosed I had health insurance and was able to afford the Lexapro, I was on it for about two months then my maternity leave was up and I decided to not go back to work and lost my health benefits because we couldn't afford cobra, so I stopped taking the Lexapro. I hid the fact that I wasn't doing well from everyone. After about 4 months I went back to work again for about two months and but I couldn't handle it. But the good thing was that I had health insurance for a short time and was able to get my Lexapro again. Now I have been off my Lexapro again for a month and this is the worse that I have been, I have considered packing my things and leaving my family behind. I am feeling so hopeless and desparate, because without health insurance I can't talk to my doctor, because we can't afford the office visit and I can't afford to buy the Lexapro out right because they are $5 a pill. I am in the process of getting medicaid, but it is taking forever. I think that I need help now, but I don't know of anyway that I can get help without insurance.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it
