Hello, I was just wondering how you knew you had postpardum depression? My boy is 3 months now and i've been down for a long time. My husband thinks i'm just having doubt/ esteem issues and that i'm too strong to be depressed, which kind of confuses me? Going to the doctor seems daunting and I don't know whether it's in my head. Thanks so much and I love your honesty here.
@LoveImmie I had a friend who had PPD with two out of her 5 children. She recognized that something was going on. I also am a very positive person, and I was very depressed and anxious, and my son had been born almost 3 months prior. I went to the Emergency Room and was diagnosed. Then I saw my OBGYN who delivered my son, and he did a questionnaire to help diagnose my PPD as well. My husband also didn't understand, but after reading some info, he was on board. U should see the doctor. Take Care.
