Ok finally realizing that yes I am suffering from PPD (DH said it about a month after DD was born) almost a year after DD's birth.<br><br>
I just haven't been the same as I was and am starting to have more and more problems with anxiety/just going out of the house. Some days I can barely drag myself out of the bedroom to do anything with the baby.<br><br>
So I know what I need to do, I want to talk to someone. Desperately. Unfortunately I don't have any health insurance at the moment (trying to rectify that irritating situation) and we are flat broke but I know that sometimes therapists will do a sliding scale.<br>
Are there therapists/counselors who specialize in PPD? I keep trying to find someone local and am having no luck at all!<br>
Any resources would be so greatly appreciated! Thanks

ok i emailed a fellow midwife...this is what she said....good luck! <hugs><br><br>
"yeah, I would highly recommend Lois Freidman (maybe spelled Freedman, not sure) or Vicky Reichert. They both specialize in preg/pp issues and trauma, and they are both awesome. Let me knwow if you need me to dig up numbers..."<br><br>
and<br><br>
"oh, yeah, here's Vicky's info from my website, and I'm sure Lois is google-able<br>
