[quote=Anonymous]Yes, this happened to me. I was already being treated for PPD when I returned to work and it went off a cliff. I quit my job and it got better (well I begged work to let me take unpaid leave first, and they said no, so I quit). It was financially hard for us but worth the sacrifice so that I could be home with my baby until we were both ready for separation. There were women in my PPD support group who were the opposite— their PPD started getting better when they returned to work. They missed their babies, but seemed to be helped by the return to adult company and routine. I think part of the difference for me was that my work was very isolating. What about you, OP? Is your workplace social and supportive (are you in person?). Or are you alone? I think it’s really really hard to be alone AND away from your baby that first year. It can feel good in small doses, but I found it very hard.[/quote]
