Don't diagnose me yet!

Q

Hi all

I just had my baby boy this past Friday, March 22nd. I'm so in love with him and can't wait to see him and his personality grow and just love on him. With that being said, I have a history of depression and anxiety that I'm currently being medicated for. I take PPD very seriously and my husband and I have already discussed what steps we would take if I start to feel that way. Well, we discussed this BEFORE delivery. Now that baby is here, I feel like my husband treats me more like a psych patient than a wife or partner. He's hesitant to leave me with our child alone. Any time I'm upset or discouraged about something valid, his first assumption is PPD. I can't leave without him thinking I'm going to hurt myself, the baby, or someone else. It's uncomfortable, uncalled for, and plain humiliating and degrading to be treated with such gloves. It's like he feels like he has the authority to diagnose me. I'm so upset and I don't know what to do.
