Postpartum depression at night ?

Question

So I’m a little over 2 weeks PP but it seems like these last few days every time it gets dark outside I feel an overwhelming amount of sadness. I don’t have thoughts about harming me nor my baby. Just sadness & I wasn’t to cry constantly. Has anyone experienced this but just when it gets dark outside ??

Answer

I would get really depressed at night because I would have anxiety of being up with my baby all night knowing how tired I already was. Literally DREADED nighttime. Baby blues are very normal and don’t feel afraid to talk to your doctor about it even if you don’t think it’s severe enough

Answer

Yup. I’m 3 months postpartum and i just spoke to my doctor. I figured it would go away as time went on but it’s just gotten worse. Talk to your doctor. They can help :)

Answer

Yes! With my first I would dread the night time because I knew I’d be up every 2 hours alone with my baby. My husband would sleep so I felt super lonely and depressed. The day time was fine. I never spoke up and it eventually went away for me but I’d talk to your doctor.

Answer

My anxiety/depression peaked at night as well. It was weird and it was around the same time as you 1-2 weeks PP is when it started

Answer

It’s worth mentioning to your doctor. At the beginning my PPD was the worst at nighttime, I think because of the anxiety about how the night would go (mixed with the severe lack of sleep). Baby blues are certainly a thing, but if you’re feeling overwhelmed by it it’s important to talk to someone. I was in denial for far too long and it just made it worse. Whatever it is I hope you feel better soon. It does get better ❤️
