Why do you feel this was a stupid post? I had to take an online quiz in order to figure out I do have PPD. Not fun stuff. I hope you feel better very soon!

I didn't admit it to myself until after it was nearly over. Even though I was prescribed paxil, I refused to admit that I needed it. Let me just tell you, that I now know, just wondering if you are PPD is enough reason to talk to a Dr about it. No child or any other family member should have to go through living with the person I was during that time.

(((hugs)) Mama. I just wanted to say that first of all, you can have PPD and still be truly sad, too. They aren't mutually exclusive. PPD is real, just like every emotion you feel, whether it be sadness, joy, frustration, lonlieness...those are all 'real' too. Please know that there are millions of other Mamas out here who have or do suffer with these issues, you aren't alone, and the help for you is plentiful. All the best....
