[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband deploys in six months. [b] I know no one will offer me help[/b], and after reading this, I know not to ask.  I don't know how I'll survive it.[/quote]

Instead of sitting around with a hand out waiting for help, seek it out on your own. Make a plan. Manage your family.[/quote]

Since my PPD is so severe I can't leave the house, and have been begging for help for months, and getting none, I don't really appreciate your platitudes.[/quote]

Instead of begging for help, why aren't you paying for help? You don't have to be a martyr.[/quote]

My OB never saw an issue, so I haven't been able to get a referral or medication.  He thinks it's just "hormones".  No one else to pay.[/quote]

You need a new OB.  If he suspects hormones are at the root of it why the heck isn't he/she treating you?  Makes no sense.[/quote]

Because he doesn't think it's PPD.  [/quote]

PPD has to have onset within a month post-partum, which, given the info from the PP (if I've read all her posts), we can't tell. Even if it's not PPD, it could be another depressive disorder. Go to another doctor, PP. Take care of it before your husband leaves. I am a PP who thinks OP is a big whiner, but where mood or other disorders are involved, you need to have it worked out right now, before he leaves.[/quote]
