I don't know what this is..possible ppd?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I've had panic attacks for almost 8 years now, they've been almost non-existent for 3 years without meds though so that's been great. My anxiety was under control really well.

After I had ds in July, I had some hormonal crying, 'blues' for about 3 weeks then I seemed to be okay.

Nov came & I was having some pretty bad anxiety & I started on Zoloft. Seemed to help.

The last week I've been having a problem with fits of rage for lack of a better description. I get so ANGRY at the baby for crying & fussing, I have the urge to do him some great harm. This is so not like me, we tried so long to have him & up until now I've been nothing but in love with him...could this be ppd this late in the game?

I went to the dr & the only thing he did was up my dosage of Zoloft & told me to come back in 2 weeks...in the meantime I'm scaring myself when I get so angry. I've had to resort back to some SI just to keep from releasing any of that anger onto any of the kids.

PPD can strike up to the first year so I'd say probably PPD. We do have a PPD forum so you might want to check there
