yes tried it and it is not really that bad but i have been to dilemma where i was in denial at first about giving birth and my husband seek a professional's advice to help me out.

it's every moms experience after giving birth and for some this is inevitable. just don't lose the gauge, focus with yourself first and try to be relax do not stressed out much yourself by thinking too much.

you can take a regular therapy like the CBT self-help program and you can start of exercising daily.

you may want to try to join some classes and reached out groups. try to have a daily meditation practice this will help out.

some who are experiencing postpartum depression has a history of depression which makes them more susceptible having PPD.

germelle - November 14th, 2010 9:20 AM

some sort of hormonal shift, mood swings, sleep deprivation, exhaustion from giving birth and the stress of having a baby can also be factors of having postpartum depression, so you need to take a look at these triggering points.

some are experiencing it really bad and may also lead them to become very harmful with the people around them. just try to get out everyday to ease the stress and the depression.

euclaire - November 14th, 2010 9:24 AM

therapy will help you out with that problem just take some little of your patience to undergo with it.

it will totally affect your overall attitude and the more you try to fight it out, the more it is getting worst. it is also helpful when you reach with other people around the house, someone you can talk to.

i did experience postpartum depression and sadly it lasted for over 2 years. i have been experiencing panic attacks and quite crying out most often.

i do have PPD just before i have my baby and this has become worst enough until i gave birth. it was really stressful, my ways and mood are really out of league. it's really hard and you need to bear in mind that the first person who can truly help you is no other than yourself.

been with that experiences too. i went to seek a doctor's advice and the doctor told me to often go out of the house and socialize once in a while. shopping, visiting family or a friend or just go out and find an outlet to release the tension will help you and you don't actually need to take any medications after all.

my_sweet_daughty - November 14th, 2010 1:56 PM

yes medicines are not really that helpful, don't be relay on it and worst there are side effects too. start to think and put it in your mind to concentrate with your baby.

take a long walk and unwind, it works! do not drag yourself too much to get the rid of feeling down.

contessa - November 14th, 2010 2:08 PM

the most major factor why i have postpartum depression before was that after giving birth, i have been so stressed with the abrupt changes i went through. it is a good thing that my friends have been there all throughout to accompany at my downside time.

jauffer_b - November 14th, 2010 2:14 PM

i have tried to keep myself busy walking around outside our house and shop as well but it didn't help me though. all i did was to surround myself with the people i love and to the things that i want.
