You had PPD after your son, too? You poor thing. I thought medication would help. Are they maybe giving you too much medication? I think admitting you are having trouble and taking it one day at a time is sometimes all you can do. I think it is great that your moms are willing to help. Just know it won't last forever.

I had it until Meike was almost a year old. My started from a variety of factors. I had a difficult delivery, my IBS started within a week after she was born, she didn't sleep for 6 weeks, I had mastitis (breast infection) twice, she cried all the time because she wasn't getting enough to eat. Things did get better once I started bottle feeding. She gained 7 pounds in a month. The poor thing.

I have to tell you that it got worse when I started taking the pill. My doctors insited it's suppose to regulate your hormones but I think, with the drastic change, it made things worse. I couldn't control my emotions. It stopped when I went off the pill, believe it or not.

Does any of this apply to your situation? I know how difficult it is just to get through the day to day. It is hard when your toddler decides you are not doing what he wants. It is hard listening to the baby cry. I would get to the point where I would put them in their rooms or lock myself in my bedroom to get away. It really is a short season in the scheme of things. I pray you begin to come out of the cloud you are under.
