Experiences With Post-partum Depression? Posted: 01-07-08 23:03pm
Hello everybody! My psychology final is
meant to find out what treatment works
best for women who have suffered from
either post-partum depression or "baby
blues". Instead of using statistics, I
wanted to find out what real women had to
say about their true experiences with this
condition and any treatments that worked
well or badly for you. Even if do not wish
to share your story, just saying what
treatment worked best for you will help.
Thank you:-)

i have it right now
i just started on welbutrin so we will see
how it goes. it hit me about 2-3 weeks ago
like a bus. and i literally started
haveing panic attacks so nbad i couldnt
breathe. i was mad and sad all the time.
for the past 2 days ive been ok
the only thing is i cant eat, and im
getting hot flashes. ia ssume thats a side
effect of the meds.
i really DIDNT want to be on medication
but i had to
for me
for my daughter and for my boyfriend who
has been probably the biggest support and
help ever.
PPD is a hard thing to go through. i never
thought it would ever happen wiith me. but
it just opped out of nowehere. and its
killing me. i hoe the meds start to kick
in soon but the dr said 2-3 weeks
if youd like ill update in a few weeks
when it does start to work and let you
know how i goes

Hi, my experience with Post-partum
Depression is you have to admit that you
have it. I hid my for 5 yrs because I
thought everyone would think I was a bad
mother. I ended up becoming bulimic and
suicidal. I was a mess. I could write a
book about my life. I hid so much from my
husband and family. If it is not dealt
with, chances are you will die or lead a
very lonely life. It is very hard on the
person dealing with the depression, but
also extremly hard on the rest of the
family. I got help through counceling and
Zoloft.
