Anyone else feel their ppd come on as late as 5 mo pp? I’ve had depression for all my adult life and only ease it with meds (nothing has worked even close to 100%). I felt pretty balanced during my pregnancy and was even off most my meds and only taking 1/3 my previous antidepressants dose. After birth I slowly started feeling like I used to and needing the meds again. Especially around 4 1/2-5 months I started really feeling burnt out and now at 5 1/2 months pp I’m convinced I don’t just have my normal depression but ppd. I can’t stop crying right now and just feel BURNT OUT. I want to stay in bed for 3 days and watch Netflix and hide from the world but that’s not very possible with a 5 month old.

Has anyone experienced ppd this late? Anyone previously on antidepressants before ppd hit? What things did you do or adjust to cope with the ppd if already on meds? I’m still waiting to hear back from my psych/pill doc on how to proceed. This is really miserable. It’s like I feel so alone but not alone enough.
