[quote=Anonymous]Oh please to the PPs who are questioning the definition of PTSD.  Whatever. It's clear you have never experienced a newborn/infant with colic and reflux.  I have.  And I'm about the most strong-minded person around, it takes insane amounts of shock or stress to offset me.  Having a baby with colic and reflux, day after day, hour after hour, will fuck with your mind so badly that you think thoughts you never thought you'd think.  Like, throwing your baby out of the window, or throwing it onto the couch, or back into its crib, anything to stop the constant screaming.  And it's not just crying.  It's literal screaming. High pitched, wailed, red-faced, constant screaming.  If you've never experienced it and want to argue about some stupid literal definition of PTSD, go to another sanctimommy forum and shut the hell up.

To the OP, it does get better, I promise.  I can joke about it now and even had a third child after my second child had colic and reflux.  Don't beat yourself up and think of yourself as weak or awful or anything less than who you know you really are, I think discussing this with a therapist is a good approach.  You will come out of this fog, it's just hard to envision that happening right now.  But it will.  Hang in there!![/quote]
