How long after the birth of your baby did you feel "normal" again? I'm a month away from delivery and the depression is pretty bad despite my being monitored by a psychiatrist who has me on anti-depressants. I've forgotten what it feels like to feel "normal".
I started feeling better as soon as I stopped analyzing everything. I have to live day to day and not htink about what could or might happen. that was what was bringing me down. I had to be admitted to the ER because I had a breakdown at around 30 weeks. the reality though, for both of us, is that it will get worse before it gets better. my doc said after the hormones from pregnancy are gone it's really easy for it to worsen. Just make sure you keep in touch with your ob and psychiatrist. good luck honey!
This is normal and even after your pregnancy you can develop post pardrum syndrome. I would suggest that you get some out side help like a counselor to help you cope with the depression because it can get worse.
I have heard of a condition called post natal depression.
It is a very serious risk if you feel any feelings of anger or resentment about/to the baby.
Many parents who have been driven mad, have harmed and killed thier babies even though they would never normal harm anyone.
Others have neglected them and left them when they are hungry and various other things.
You must know for sure you can care for a child, if you can't, it is better being fostered.
It is something to discuss with a psychiatrist, but you have to choose what you do.
I would like to think your develop into a loving caring mother.
****This is a message that is not an insult, it is for the welfare and protection of the child, you feel you have trouble bringing up.
