These were the worst weeks of my life and I felt extremely frightened and suicidal. It has now been just over a year and I am still

Judgement or concern?
Hi, first time posting so I'll give a little back story. (27 married for 5 years 2 kids 5&6) Suffered with depression from young age and
psychosis
but after having my kids (2 in 12months at aged 20) I really suffered. I suspect PPP but never got help, was on various medication for 4 years.

Looking for Jenny
At the start of this year I had watched the painful but important documentary my baby

and me and was struck by the similarities between my experience and a lady called Jenny who was featured.

Pp relapse after recovery
Is it possible to relapse back into
psychosis
as part of pp after recovering from the episode or is it more likely just a psychotic mania from my bipolar. it's been 3 months I've been stable but now really struggling to even write this due to concentration levels and the voices are back and angry.

Exercise? Lucky You!!!
My depression and
psychosis
is very bad at the moment, too. Stop smoking clinics don't make house calls and the whole fiasco of trying to go swimming is a joke. It would be easier if I was paralysed because I'd not feel the excruciating pain that goes with moving!!!

Getting off medication without bad withdrawals
Hi everyone, I had PPP in June 2015, a month in MBU and sent home with olanzapine to take for a year and started on sertraline for depression. Finally free of olanzapine but the withdrawals were awful. The insomnia being the worst. I was given zolpidem to help with sleep but after a month on sleeping

Any youtubers?
Hello everyone, I thought I might just ask if there are any youtubers around who have suffered pp? I remember when I was ill and in a MBU I foolishly looked up the illness on YouTube and all I found were horrific stories of women who hadn't got well. I kind of thought as a way of getting better I would

Recovery Setback
HI all, I found this website online looking for help and answers. My wife had PP in 2013 after the birth of our daughter. She spent 3 weeks in the hospital before coming home. She was not manic after that time but very depressed for several months. Outside of the hospital she only used lithium,
