Hey,
Just had baby boy almost 2 months ago. Diagnosed with ppd/ppa. Started taking 10mg Fluoxetine for about week in half. I had a great pregnancy and felt so good. My delivery was pretty intense and i felt different afterwards. I played it up to just having the baby. I started feeling hazy vision, fogginess and anxiety alot! Feeling like im just going through the motions, like im looking at myself but outside myself😞 Everything seems like im in a dream state. Really crappy.. My anxiety has lessoned with medicine a little not sure it will help with hazy feeling. I just want to feel like myself again!
Pregnancy and depression.

Welcome!
Congratulations on the birth of your baby. I'm sorry you're struggling with these symptoms. I too had the foggyness, vision issues, and feeling as if I wasn't really there. It's horrible!
Meds really helped me with these symptoms . One and a half weeks isn't that long so hopefully in another couple of weeks you'll start feeling more like yourself. Indeed in this interim period you may feel worse . Hang on in there if you can.
Keep talking. You're doing all the right things and will recover x
Thank you. My baby just turned 3 months. Started feeling better for most part. But last week been feeling more anxiety again. Esp. In mornings. Blood pressure goes up and down. For the most part medicine is helped with foggyness and vision and some anxiety.
Hi there
It's really positive you're feeling better believe me . Ups and downs are a normal part of the recovery process - very draining through.
Can you pinpoint what could have triggered the anxiety? Perhaps it's a type of post Xmas blues - this time of year can be hard too. Pmt can also be a trigger.
Mornings are hard for many apparently there's a physiological explanation as certain hormones dip at night . If you feel rubbish am try to get up and distract yourself - maybe that'll help take the edge of it x
