[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When was the last time you were screened for post-partum issues like anxiety, mood swings or depression?  It sounds like you may need to get into your OB.[/quote]

Screw you, actually. As someone who legitimately suffered from both PTSD and PPD, I'm telling you to seriously eff right off.

OP maybe having some amped-up hormones, yes, but this is a pretty common and understandable--if petty/small--thing to be irritated about. For you to take a rather innocuous online vent and turn it into faux-concern over VERY REAL mental health problems is just disgusting.[/quote]

It is a legitimate observation from someone who has a lot of children.  Your reaction also is over the top so I would recommend that you think about that.[/quote]

Nope. You need to stop. If this is something you do frequently--read an *anonymous online vent about something rather common and a rather understandable reaction* and immediately jump into faux-concern and blowing it up to PPD? You need to stop. [/quote]

Sigh.  Whatever you say!   :roll: [/quote]

NP. Angry PP, your reaction is a bit over the top to all of this. I too suffered from PPD (and I assume the person you’re disagreeing with is subtle in suggesting they may have too since they had “a lot of children”). In my case PPD then triggered chronic depression and anxiety from past trauma. Rx helped me, but I had to do a lot of tweaking to get to full recovery, then counseling and eventually tapering off over time. Did you get treatment for your PPD?

I say this with genuine kind intention here - your aggression is extreme for the situation and you should consider whether you’re addressing your health needs too. Maybe not Rx but you are demonstrating exactly the behavior you’re criticizing anonymously.

As far as the OP comment on being annoyed my MIL gushing - eh. Everyone tries to claim something about your child as a direct result of their genes and glory. Usually only the good stuff. ;). Comes with the territory of parenting. Just roll with it.[/quote]
