Recent PPD

Heather

Hi everyone, I was recently diagnosed with PPD. My son just turned 4 months old this week. I have been doing all that I can to get better (yoga, exercise, being outdoors, PPD books, and discussing my feelings with my husband, who has been very supportive. Any positive words of encouragement would be wonderful as well as anything you feel that truly helped you feel more positive. I know this is a long healing process, but it is nice to know I'm not alone. Also, my depression and anxiety significantly worsened after a Mirena IUD was inserted at 7 weeks postpartum. I had it removed several days ago and hope this will help decrease some emotional symptoms. Did any of you have issues with an IUD? Thanks for the encouragement and kind words. -Heather
