Looks like PPD has caught up with me

I had it BAD with DS, and with these girls I stayed on a low dose of prozac. (I also have panic attacks) I was good but when they turned 3 1/2 the panic and depression started. I am so bummed. I am working with my Dr about getting my meds to stablize me, but the short term drugs (like Xanax) drive me crazy! (pardon the pun) I am so tired all the time and cafeine makes the panic happen. With 3 kids to take care of I can't be totally out of it!!!!!
Please think some good thoughts that everything gets better, and soon!

 

:hug99: Thinking about you and hoping you get out of the funk soon! I have suffered with depression most of my life, so I know how you feel. :hug99:

I've had to deal with the very same problem - I'm so sorry you're having to go through this! If you ever need to talk, I'm usually on the computer. Many prayers for your situation.

 

i'm still expecting my twins, but i suffered from PPD when i had my dd 4+ years ago. sending my thoughts your way that you are able to get through it and find the right meds/therapy.

 

Big big hugs to you. I had PPD too, and it was awful. You are not alone. And you will get better. Praying that you find relief soon. :hug99:

 

good luck and sending you tons of vibes to feel better.

 

:hug99: I hope you're able to find something that works soon.

 

:hug99: Good for you for taking care of yourself! I hope you find the meds that will work best for you! Hang in there mom!

 

my prayers are with you. i thought i had lucked out of ppd as well but by about 3-4 months I realized I had it (from previous dealing of depression) and sought help immediatly. I have been on varoious depression medications for years on and off. i am taking cymbalta now and i think I might be a lifer. It doen't make me feel out of it or like all of my emotions are masked by the drug. Also no side effects either. after the withdrawels I had about 5 years back from Paxil I was very reluctant to go back on anything but it has changed my life and made me realize how miserable I truly was the last 5 years and why live that way if you don't have too. I hope that you are only on something for a short while but if you need it longer don't feel like you are failing at anyhting. I am not sure if you are a religious person, but God is with you and you will grow from this and someday maybe even be able to use this experience to help another in need God Bless you and your Stephanie

 

I hope it gets better soon for you. :hug99: I know how depression can just ruin everything in your life, including the joyous times with your kids. Hang in there. :hug99:

 

I too have suffered with this, I am sending you a hug in hopes that you feel better soon!

 

Good luck to you! I hope you feel better soon!

 

Sending out positive thoughts your way. I feel like I am hanging on by a thin string some days. Good for you for recognizing the situation and getting it taken care of.

I also suffer from PPD, and depression, and getting the meds right can be a pain. I hope you find something that helps really fast. :hug99:

 

I am dealing with differerent doses of prozac, and I have been on that for 2 years now, and I wil be a lifer too. I have a panic disorder. But that combined with the depression is really, well you know, a bummer.

Thank you all of your good thoughts, I really need them and they do help!
