PPD or Depression?

Question

Does this sound like depression or just normal ?
So I am 7 month PP from having my first baby. I thought that having PPD was in the first few weeks. I never had these thoughts about how I will die, scared to die, everything on the news makes me so paranoid, until about 3 or 4 months PP. I just need any advice or something.

Answer

Sounds like PPD and I dealt with it too. It doesn’t magically go away on its own. Take to your doctor and tell them everything you’re feeling! Nothing is too silly to them. Your well-being for yourself and your baby is your top priority. Talk to your doctor!!!

Answer

Sounds like it. You're actually considered at risk for a postpartum mood disorder any time during a baby's first year/as long as you are breastfeeding. Talk to your OB. Also look into a perinatal psychiatrist or therapist who specializes. Postpartum support international can help with this. I had horrible intrusive thoughts after my son was born and had a lot of OCD symptoms, it was really tough. I saw some specialists and now he is 8 months old and I'm finally starting to feel more normal.

Answer

is this ppd??? I constantly live in fear of me dying or me children or husband. or worst case senario in every situation. I thought this was regular anxiety. is it not?

Answer

It sounds more like postpartum anxiety to me but either way it talking to your physician might be worth the while.
