postpartum depression?.

Question

Those of you who have had/currently have postpartum depression, could you describe to me how you felt? My LO is 3 months and if I had these symptoms beforehand I didn't realize... lately I've taken note that my eating and sleeping habits are horrible; I barely do either. I do not have thoughts of suicide or harming my baby I love her more than anything, but I have thought "what if I just left, what would happen." 
For the past few weeks I want to say it has really hit me. I just feel so depressed, empty. There isn't a correct word for how I feel. I feel like I'm broken and can't be fixed. I just want to isolate myself and cry. If this isn't PPD, what could it be? I have had a dramatic life change...getting a divorce, moved twice in last 2 months.. thanks in advance ladies.

Hun I think the time on your hands caring for a newborn 👶 plus all the changes in your life is slowly taking a toll on you. If you have someone you can talk to I would suggest you do if you can't talk to a professional.

Answer

This does sound like postpartum but you are also going through a lot right now!... I suggest getting help. You may improve with medication. You might also want to try essential oils, herbs or an energetic healing  session...

Answer

I'm an OB nurse. It sounds like depression. It's wonderful that you recognize your feelings. Don't be afraid to make an appointment with your OB or primary care physician to talk. Hang in there, you're not alone in this.
