Ppl with PPD - How did you realize & accept you have PPD?

Hello Ppl with PPD - Hope you are in good health!

My mom has PPD. She suspects that my dad that he is cheating her.

I am trying to understand how to deal with her, if she should be told about this or not? If she is told, if it would benefit/worsen the situation?

How did you realize & accept that you have PPD? And how did you get convinced? Please share your experience, and what have you gone through when you were told and when you realised it.

Thanks a lot, and Takecare!

I am interested to know if people with it ever do question themselves or realize they have it. If they realize they have it, how did they decide it? I have a sister I'm sure has it but won't discuss such things. She's a mess.

Same Roxy. I realky want to know if ppl who suffer PPD can accept they have it or just deny it and believe their mistrust.

I consider myself to have a severe case of Schizoid Personality Disorder and I would say my Paranoid Personality Disorder is on the milder side (as I am able to talk to other people and trust them for some things, but not too much). I guess I have been disappointed by other people and have grown cynical towards them. But I really don't have any reason for this. Which is why I have come to accept that I have PPD, along with Schizoid Personality Disorder.

I'll have good thoughts toward someone...and then later I'll have cynical and paranoid thoughts about them...but again, the constant is not having any real reason for this (during these cynical/paranoid thought spells). It's like someone goes from good to evil in my head (but I don't have any real reason that would make them go from good to evil other than my own thoughts). And if I do have "evidence"...it's usually not very strong to begin with. So...yeah I'm learning to address the Paranoid side of myself.
