This is part of the problem.  I've called a few counselors and it's a 3 week wait to see someone.  Same with a family practice doctor - I don't have a PCP.  I know, I know, if I'd just made an appointment, but when you're desperate and begging someone for help and are told it's 3-4 weeks for it, the easiest thing to do is hang up the phone and cry.  Finding someone today just isn't going to happen.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but having to wait for an appt is not a valid excuse not to get treatment and be a better person for yourself and for your family. What other choice do you have? Your PPD isn't likely to disappear in those three weeks. I understand, people suffering from depression often times need a push to get better. It's too difficult to do out of sheer will. Maybe the threat of divorce is what you need. I'm not advocating your DH's position btw. I think he should be more patient and empathetic with the situation. But he obviously isn't and if your wish is not to wake up one day divorced, a single mom, AND still depressed, I would make that appointment today.

Btw, I suffered from PPD for a long time after my first child and on an off with my next two. Parenting infants is HARD. I did what I had to do to help myself and I didn't always want to do what was required. It was a lot of work also. But I would have regretted not doing it. I am positive of that.[/quote]
