[quote=Anonymous]I hate to tell you, but do think it’s probably with sharing. I experienced PPD with my 2nd (was totally fine after the first!), treated with talk therapy, and it lasted 16 months. I was reluctant to use meds, as I’d used anti anxiety meds about 10 years back and experienced some really bad side effects. I was just getting to the point where I was talking to a psychiatrist about meds because it was going on SO long when my symptoms lifted suddenly and completely (a very unusual path, according to both my therapist and my psychiatrist). If I could go back in time, I would absolutely start meds earlier. Maybe not as early as you are now, but certainly by 3-6 months PP if not earlier. It was really hard for me to see just how miserable I was until it lifted. [/quote]
