Post partum depression
So I suffered from debilitating PPD/anxiety/ocd after having my first. It was so very bad I checked myself into an intensive outpatient treatment program for 3 weeks on top of the usual psychiatrist and therapist routes. I learned so much from that program and it truly saved my life.
I was weaned off my meds prior to getting pregnant with my second. The meds I took were safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding should I need it.
Since having our second daughter I feel fantastic! I feel completed, like my life has come full circle and I’m truly blessed to have these beautiful little girls in my life. But how do I politely tell people to back off? I know they’re concerned that the PPD could come back but I’m getting sick of the “how are you doing emotionally” I’m not at all ashamed of what I went through, in fact it’s quite the opposite. I will speak to anyone about it because I felt so ashamed and like it wasn’t really talked about. But I don’t want the constant questions. My hubby & my support system know what to look for and how to address it with me should they need to. How do I tell people to stay in their lane without coming off as a bitch? I know it’s coming from a good place just sick of being reminded of how bad of a time that was
