Last night was awful. At 4.30 in the morning I’d been up with the Fiendling for two and half hours and I was sobbing big, gulpy, hysterical sobs and couldn’t stop. Boyfiend took the Fiendling and slept with him in the floor in his room but it still took me more than an hour to stop crying and fall asleep.
I don’t know what the problem is. I just made an appointment to rule out any illnesses and started crying on the phone with the receptionist. Things are awful. I am so depressed. After more than a year and half I’ve got PPD and I’ve got it bad.

I am so sorry you’re going through such a hard time. I’ll call you. We should hang out without the kids.

My wife went through PPD after our son was born. I know first hand how hard it was for her. My thoughts are with you.

Man, that sucks. If they prescribe some meds to help mellow you out a bit, don’t be afraid to take them. I’ve several friends who have had PPD and the meds changed their lives.
Just a thought, could you be expecting another Fiendling?

aww I hope you feel better quick. And with all these sleepless nights no wonder you’re feeling the way you do.

((*hugs*)). I agree with Dawn. Yes, it may be PPD, but sleep deprivation can screw you up royally, too, and the combo of the two?! Geesh! Go to the doctor and talk to him/her. Don’t wait.
