You can have PP Depression for up to a year. You need to see your Dr. he might can give you something to help. But warning if you are placed on anti depressant and get worse on it that is a warning sign for the drug. Some people do OK on anti depressants but recent warnings have came out on Paxil for anyone under 30. So be careful of meds but if they don't work just tell your Dr. You need to do something to feel better. Are you getting any time for yourself? That is important for you to have time away, just to shop, get your hair done or something for you a few hours a week. Do let your Dr know how your feeling. There isn't a chance your preg. is there. I always get emotional when I am preg. good luck and god bless

It could absolutely be postpardum depression. It can come at any time, especially during the first year. You are perfectly normal, I have a very close friend of mine who went through the exact same thing. What she did was she went and talked to someone, I believe a psychologist/counselor type, and that really helped. She also started a really light medication for depression, which worked wonderfully, and now she's off of it. Your Husband cares about you very much, I'm sure, he's probably just scared! Men never know what to say when we cry anyways. Take care of yourself, and get all the help you need. Your health is important, and don't be ashamed of feeling down.

I've suffered from post-partum depression (after the births of my first 2 out of 3 children) and major depression for 7 years. I'm doing great now. Post-partum dep. can occur anytime from birth to 1 year following the birth of your child. Wanting to isolate yourself from others and crying alot w/o knowing the reason can be signs of depression. I would highly recommend you see your OB or regular dr. asap. Only a dr. can diagnose depression and if it is depression it will not go away on its own. Anyone who tells you to get over it or tough it out does not understand. Take care of yourself and then you will be better able to care for your children. God Bless.

You definitely are depressed. Most likely, you are right...your husband isn't sure what to say or do. I went through depression really bad after the birth of my first child. I didn't think it would ever go away. You need to talk to your doctor, that is for sure. I understand how hard depression can be, ecspecially when you have kids to care for. Just cry when you need to cry!!

Post-partum depression is caused by the drop of hormones and usually starts to happen within a couple of days of giving birth. What you have is probably regular depression. I would seek help.

Usually if you have depression within the first year of giving birth then it is considered post-partum depression. Don' t worry it will pass. Maybe you should go talk to your pastor or a counselor.

Not neccesarily,post pardum can show up whether things are good or bad.I had it after my son was born and I cried for hours too.Talk to your OB and they can help you.There are medications and support groups out there to help you.Your doctor will know whether or not you have post pardum.Just try to relax and take it easy,but do talk to them about it.Good Luck!!

I think you may have. You would need to see a doctor or councellor. I can take a year to get over things. But if you do not get treatnemt this can blight your life
