loneliness

I had this too when I was pregnant. Go ahead and talk to your doctor and get on some medicine now. They recommend I did but I said no and had horrible horrible postpartum depression right off the bat that just kept getting worse until friends and family were noticing. I feel like I missed out on a lot at the beginning of her birth because I was so depressed. I really wish I would have started medicine sooner. I feel so much better now

I went through this too and struggled to find comfort because there’s hardly anything about it like you said. Just know you’re not alone. What I constantly told myself was that it’s all temporary and due to the hormones. For additional help I went to a therapist too. Also, If it helps I just had my lo 4 weeks ago and have already had a huge improvement of feeling like myself and no depressed thoughts or feelings. Hormones are a crazy thing. You’ll get through this momma

Definitely mention this to your doctor, and don't wait until your next appointment. It is quite common and they can do things to help!
