[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had PPD for months after the birth of my child.  Hated life, hated everything about being a mother.  Started medication 5 months later and began to feel better.  My DH will still bring up those months, which makes my blood boil. [/quote]

OP here. Is it a lack of understanding, caring, or what?  It's like he wants to make me out to be evil. [b] I realize life isn't peaches for him either,[/b] but come on.[/quote]

I don't think he really understands what you're going through, and I don't think you really understand what he's going through. I've been where you are, OP, at least in terms of the PPD.  I get it.  You're giving every ounce of yourself to the baby right now.  But nothing you wrote gave any indication that you give a crap about prioritizing your marriage, and you have to know that your DH is getting that message loud and clear.  Try to step outside of how scared and sad and overwhelmed you feel, and think about how helpless and angry he must feel too.  Here he was expecting this blissful little family life, and so far it hasn't exactly turned out that way. As women we hear so much about PPD and we know it's normal and it will pass, but men DON'T know that and they DON'T hear that.  Your DH is probably scared out of his mind that this is the new you, permanently.  If he's never experienced chemical depression he's simply not capable of understanding how you can be simply unable to function.

You don't go into the "issues" that led you to be undiagnosed and untreated but you MUST find a way to get to a doctor, stat.  Like, TODAY.  You owe it to your DH, your baby, and yourself to do everything you can to get through this period sooner rather than later.  [/quote]
