new here

Hi everyone. I am new to mothering.com but have had PPD for the 7 months since my baby was born. Right now I am just trying to get by. I feel like I am going through the motions of life but not fully participating. The past 7 months have gone by in a blink of the eye and I can barely remember what my daughter was like when she was born. Similar to others here, I had a tramatic birthing experience that I am trying but failing to move on from. My support circle is superficial at best. My husband knows about the PPD but does nothing to help me. I have several books that I am trying to get through on PPD and I am on medication now. Today is just a bad day for me. I feel like this is never going to get better. :

I couldn't read and not give you some

I've been through all that too. It WILL get better. Make sure you meet YOUR needs so that you can meet your baby's needs.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate hearing from other people who are going through or have made it beyond this. I am just trying to take it day by day and realize that I can only do my best.
