Postpartum depression
This might sound stupid but how do I know if I am experiencing postpartum depression ? Lately I’ve been feeling really sensitive and I guess irritable . When I was 15 I was diagnosed with sever depression and later anxiety , Im now 27 . My depression hasn’t really hit me hard for a long time . A couple weeks ago I started to get really irritated with my husband . For 3 days he was just getting on my nerves and he wasn’t necessarily doing anything . I would try to ignore my feelings and act normal .On the 4th day everything he said and did made me so mad and even made me want to cry. Like stupid stuff that usually doesn’t bother me. I was about to start my period so I figured maybe I was just having sever pms . I’ve been having trouble sleeping at night or falling asleep , sometimes it feels like too much to breastfeed i feel like she’s always on me, maybe I’m feeling a little burnt out . My daughter always wants to be with me so it’s hard at times cleaning the apartment and even showering and taking care of myself . I feel terrible saying this stuff and feel like crying as I’m writing this . On top of all that I’ve been struggling with other health issues that is taking a lot out of me . I’m almost 8 months pp and I feel crazy and hormonal . I’m already an emotional person but I feel worse and like I’ve been shutting down from people easier at times . I’m a stay at home mom and don’t have any friends where I am and only 2 family members , one is an hour from me . But we also only have 1 car so I can’t go anywhere anyway .
Or I’m just an awful wife and mother.
