[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask your husband to keep a close eye on you, op. Most meds can produce unintended consequences. Just because an SSRI worked for one person doesn't mean it will work for you. Most of my friends and family actually felt better after they weaned themselves off the meds.

The real truth is that being a new mom is hard...for most people. Feeling overwhelmed is normal. You just need to find a way to get through it. That might mean extra help. That might mean meds. There's no silver bullet. But I think it's unhelpful to label everything as ppd or anxiety...especially when feeling overwhelmed at times comes with the territory. It'll get better...especially if you take charge. Don't be a victim...don't just resign yourself to a patient with ppd. Proactively take charge. [/quote]

I agree that this is unhelpful. Most meds? Most of your friends and family? Such an overgeneralization backed up by zero facts and only your anecdotal experience. It doesn't seem like you read OP'S post, where she explains that she is unable to function due to mental illness, and that she's not a new mom. She has two kids, and the youngest was not just born.

OP is proactively taking charge. People like you are the reason others wait to get the help they need. They don't want to be seen as a victim, as weak, as though they can't handle life. Educate yourself before spouting off dangerous nonsense like this.[/quote]
