I had PPD after my second... in the first few weeks I started on meds, and saw a therapist, but gave up on the meds after a week because I was scared of breastfeeding with it.... life continued and I just blamed my feeling down on the hoilidays and then birthday stress etc.... I finally talked to my doc at 8 months postpartum and went on Zoloft... WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It was a huge turn around. I would talk to your doc about it.

ppd can last up to a year, so definately talk to your doctor about it.

i would think that it isn`t ppd because your dd is 9 months. it does sound like it definietley can be regular depression. Def tak to your doc about it, there is things that can help you.

I don`t think its post partum depression.. I think you are probably just depressed, stressed and happen to have had a baby 9 mo ago... I have an 11m old and I am almost 32weeks pregnant... this happens... can`t blame you.. but if you feel like hurting yourself or feel like you aren`t taking care of the baby or other things as well as you think you could/should then talk to your doctor about medication or to talk to a professional.. Make sure you`re getting out on your own regularly for coffee/chat with friends WITHOUT husband and baby, you`d be suprised how medicinal that is...

Oh hunn it could definitely still be post partum or it could be plain old depression. Fighting with a SO ALWAYS brings us down to our lowest. I would most definitely brin it up to your doctor because there is so much help out there for depression and it is SOO common. Let him/her know exactly how you feel.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
