Is this ppd or regular depression
It’s been 6 months since I had my daughter.
It was traumatic to say the least.
I was Rear ended and my uterus burst so she was born early.
I have been locked in my home since she got home due to flu season.
I am feeling depressed.
I’ve gained all my weight back I weigh the same as I did when I gave birth.
I have a terrible case of postpartum acne.
And I don’t know if it’s stress or just finally aging but my hair went from 1-2 grays to an extreme amount.
Basically I look like I don’t take care of myself.
And I don’t too much these days because what’s the point?
I don’t leave my house.
I have the worst crying bits when it’s time to go out to a doctors appointment or something necessary like that because I realize how much I’ve let myself go and how bad a shape I’m in.
My clothes look terrible. My hair looks bad. My acne is all I see. Even my children (and they don’t lie) have asked me what’s wrong with my face.
And I cry when they’re not looking.
I know I can eat better and exercise to work on weight... I have started already.
But my skin!
And I can’t hardly leave my house I’m losing it!
I’m just so sad.
I want so badly for my baby girl to be safe. I find myself wishing time could just speed up to when I can do things with her.
She’s my last baby, I should be enjoying her.
That car accident really ruined things. I can’t have children anymore...and now I’m locked in my home wishing that my last baby grow up so I can leave my house.
Pathetic. I feel pathetic.
Can this still be ppd? Or is it a whole other thing?
