Anyone else in here suffering from PPD or PP anxiety? I’m having a rough go of it and could use some support or just someone who gets it

I don’t have children but I can understand it. I am a personal trainer and have had many clients and close friends who have gone thru this. You are not alone. I’m sure you are a great mom! Don’t worry. You are not alone. Maybe go to a PPD blog? I can talk to you privately, just DM me. You are gonna be ok. ❤️

Yes!! I had PPD way back in my 20’s after each of my 3 children. The first one was the worst! People weren’t talking about it as much back in the 80’s. I suffered alone for about 3 months. It’s so hard to manage when you have a newborn to care for. I had depression and anxiety. My baby suffered with colic and now I understand why! I was so anxious and had difficulty calming her down. There were times when I became so distraught and frustrated that I had to place her in her crib crying, and step outside and walk around the house to make an attempt at calming down. Every time when I returned inside, she would have fallen asleep! I felt like a horrible Mother because I couldn’t calm her down the way I thought I should. And being a first time Mom, I really didn’t know what I was doing and I was only 24 years old. I hope I’m identifying with some of the feelings you’re experiencing...

Thank you so much for your reply. I know my anxiety played a huge role in why my bAby girl had problems breastfeeding. Then the colic now the teething. I’m just so sad and anxious all the time

Yes My first one was 29 years ago , 6 weeks after I lost my mom I gave birth to my 3rd child ..then 23 months later my 4th child it was there again. I was lucky that I didn't want to harm my children...only me. I can totally understand how you feel , as Gratitude said back then it wasn't talked about....thank goodness it's out there now. Are you getting any help? I did that & it did help. I'm here for you if you need me. Loads of love & hugs!!! I wish for you peace! XXX

I also feel like I don’t want to harm her but I do think often of ending it for myself. What kind of treatment helped you the most? Would love to talk further if you don’t mind me reaching out?

[Hidden in reply to AnxietyAtAllSeconds]

No problem! I went on anti-depression meds & anxiety meds! You can pm me if you'd like! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, breaks my heart! Love & Hugs!!!
