Postpartum Drepression?

Question

Lately I have been feeling super down and lost in life. No matter what I do even I’m at work not at home. Everything I do just doesn’t seem right. Even taking care of my baby, I usually feel calm and all but lately I just feel like I got no energetic to do anything. Got no appetite to eat, feeling like I just don’t wanna do anything. As I say feeling lost, even those daily routine that I always do just doesn’t feel right. Nothing makes me happy and everything is annoying me. Is this what postpartum depression is?

Answer

Yes this sounds like postpartum to me and I had similar experiences after finishing breastfeeding each one of my 4 kids. Trust that this is common but it doesn't have to defeat you. Personally I found individual and group counseling and medication useful. I wish I had known more about it with my first baby and perhaps my marriage would've lasted or been better but unfortunately the marriage did not survive my feelings of loneliness and depression postpartum and my husband just did not understand. He kept pushing me to be intimate when I felt no sexual desire and ultimately we both felt unappreciated and unloved. Reach out to friends, find local or virtual support groups, talk to your doctor about antidepressants, keep up your diet to stay healthy even if it is hard, remember to care for yourself so you can care for your baby, and don't feel ashamed - you are not alone and it gets better!! 💙
