Quote From: mkorpikMay I ask what your symptoms were associated with your PPD? I am a new mom as well--he'll be 11 months here soon. I am not sure what is "wrong" with me but I sometimes explode. I feel as though my head spins like that of the Exocist. I keep thinking that all I need is some alone time, but I'm beginning to wonder is there is something more to it. Thank you for sharing anything that may help me decide what "it" is.
For me I would just explode. The counter in the kitchen would be full of stuff and i would just let go. throw it all on the floor becausei was so frustrated i couldn't keep up the house like I did before I was pregnant. Also, I did not want to leave my bed, didn't care if I showered, ate or did much of anything. The exploding happened right before my periods. but several times driving I would just say to myself, I think I'll just drive off the edge of the freeway. Of course in my mind I was thinking right after that, I want to be the one to raise my daughter. I can't just leave her without a mom. Those were the thoughts that made me talk to my mom and to seek professional help. A good dr. will give you a test to take on your emotions and feeling and will also talk to you before ever giving meds. He will want to talk to your husband and get a feel for u and your needs. He should not just give you meds without a though(sp) exam. of that i am certain You don't want any chemical messing anything that does not need fixing.... Sorry so long...but so v ery important to your health.
