I think I need help?

Question

I had my first child on 1-6-18, I was doing so great with my son, always happy to have him in my life. After a month I feel like I'm not a good mother or wife to my husband. I lost the feeling to do anything and be around people. Nights are the worst since I don't sleep, the thoughts are horrible. I feel like something is going to happen to my son if I'm asleep, in another room, someone is watching him, or when I take a shower. I don't want to take medication for PPD or whatever is going on with me since I don't want to ne judged. Please I need advice ladies..

Answer

the only way it's going to get better is by getting help. I had ppd with my 2nd baby and it first started with the insomnia than the bad thoughts. it's not something that is always talked about i believe we should talk about it more since it is very commen and effect so many moms. please take care of yourself mama and it's okay to ask for help. you have a healthy baby and it's crazy to think we can go through this kind of depression after something so wonderful happening to us. everything will get better. go talk to your doctor. congrats on the new life that you brought into this world. prayers and hugs.

Answer

You need to contact your doctor. I understand not wanting to take meds, but you at least need to open the conversation about ppd with your doctor. There’s no need to be ashamed or embarrassed- it happens! Our hormones are crazy postpartum. And the fact that care shows that you are a good mom. Just don’t forget to take care of yourself. Sending you lots of good vibes!

Answer

I had ppd with my first. Pleaseeee I urge you to seek out help. Talk to your spouse, mom, friends, co workers, family, doctors. You needing help , asking for it. Does not make you a bad mom. You had life inside you, taking your energy, emotions. It's no wonder why we feel out of control once the baby is out. I will keep you in my thoughts and know that this too shall pass. Stay positive , open you windows to your home, get a plant for some oxygen , listen to some comedy. You got this 👍🏾
