I did. It was hell. I had vivid nightmares and violent mood swings. Zoloft and therapy worked wonders.

I suffered from post partum depression. No, I did not carry the pregnancy to term. I had an abortion at 21 weeks, but WAS diagnosed with post partum depression. The pregnancy really screwed with my hormone levels and just caused an unbeatable, random sadness.
I only felt like that for about 2 months. I started taking Lexapro, and "well being" courses. I got involved into many spiritual things which my mom has been practicing ever since I can remember. It really helped.

Mine lasted for about a week it wasn't as bad as some women have it but for me it was something I'll never forget. I cried every night I wanted my daughter back inside me to be a part of me again, I did not want her here in the real world, holding her didn't change the way I had felt either I wanted her in my belly.

I did. Horrible, however, I did not want to kill my baby.
