Oct baby turned Sept baby

Holly

Our baby boy was due Oct 9 and I had to be induced Sept 29 due to extremely high blood pressure. I was on the verge of a stroke due to my BP being so high. My doctor decided Sept 28 to admit me to the hospital and induce. Baby boy was born at 7:51am on the 29th. I’m totally in love with him. He’s so perfect and sweet. I have now in the past two days started feeling postpartum depression hitting. Like start crying and can’t stop. I feel useless because I have to ask for help with everything and I’m a very independent person. Even though I know my husband doesn’t mind helping I struggle with asking. I just feel semi useless and logically I know I’m not useless. I’m just struggling with overwhelming anxiety and sadness. It’s nothing to do with the baby because he’s my happy place right now. I hold him and feel better or look at his sweet face and feel better. I just don’t know what to do because I do not believe in antidepressants due to past experiences. Anyway, just getting my feelings out helps a little. Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience or has any advice?
