Family and friends is the best medicine for that. I had it after my first son was born. I was almost resentful of him at one point. But I had friends and family to help me. You can always find an online moms group where you can talk to other moms ANYTIME about the things you are going through. Here's a link to one:

Talk to your OBGYN. They will prescribe medicine and send you to mental health to have someone to talk to who is a professional. I had postpartum depression major bad and they really helped me. The quicker you talk to someone and get better the more time you will enjoy with your children and your children will be happier for that.

Part of it is a lack of sleep, part is the normal fluctuations of hormones returning to their normal level. Have someone give you a break from baby for a few hours a week, eat healthy, get some rest. If it doesn't get better, talk to your doctor, you may need some meds to help you get through it.

1) Go to your doctor FIRST ... it's not an imagined depression & may need to be treated w/ medicine
2) Eat healthy
3) Try to get some rest each day ... even if that means having someone come in to care for the baby while you sleep
4) Try to get out of the house regularly to do something just for you .

Vitamin B Complex, Like 600mg a day (?). One of the B vitamins in particular, my OB/GYN had me take them when my son was born. But that was 14 years ago, so for specific dosing info you should talk to your doctor.

ooooh i know what this feels like. my solution was seeking the comfort of my family and friends who were very supportive and took some of the pressure off the whole raising the baby thing. plus they allowed me to get some rest and boy did i need it. Moderate exercise and multivitamins also helped too. Please if you start having suicidal thoughts contact your doctor - its no joke!

Why ask here? There are no medical experts on this site. You need to talk to your Dr. There are meds available that will help you but you have to get a prescription.

Do not talk to your OB doctor about it. See a psychiatrist as soon as possible. You know the Andrea Yates case.
