Please pray for us. I am afraid I’m getting postpartum depression. Also, my husband got angry with me and left tonight. Because of my abandonment issues I do freak out when he gets mad and leaves for a few hours. The websites say to “talk to your spouse” if you think you’re getting postpartum depression. I don’t think I can in this situation. I feel sad and alone.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for us!

Do not talk with your husband about post-partum depression. Talk with him about fishing, Football, Basketball and the like, never about post-partum depression.
It is like talking to a turkey about the Bing-Bang.
Talk to a woman, a sister, a mother, your best friend, someone whom you may relate to.
What did you do to make him angry?
Examine your conscience and take conclusions. Remember that men are very weak in dialogue and when they think they are losing, they leave. If you do not know what to say, silence is the best, I tell you. Again, remember that women are vastly superior to men regarding to dialogue and that men (generally) are very weak at that. Remember that women are vastly … so that men resort to violence. All the wars were waged by men…

By the way, I am a man, and from the viewpoint of a man, I know what I am talking about.
 
for divine intervention…

Remember O Most Gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to Your Protection, implored Your Help or sought Your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto You. O Virgin of virgins my Mother, to You I come, before You I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the word incarnate, despise not my petition but in Your mercy, hear and answer me, Amen.
 
Yes, praying I’m praying for you.

Now - NOW - please call your doctor and tell them what you wrote here then come back and post an update. Okay?
 
Lord, please help SurlyMermaid. Heal her and help her to carry this cross courageously, patiently and lovingly. May her husband show her love and understanding and be there for her in her need. May she be surrendered to your holy will and abandoned to your divine providence. Please grant her strength and peace. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
*Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.*
 
How are you doing now? I haven’t read through the many pages of this, but I too suffered from postpartum depression. My husband and I weren’t aware of the severity, and I wound up in the hospital after being completely obsessed with suicide. It has not been an easy road. BUT, my husband and I have also fought, and one of us would leave, and I would panic too. BUT, he has been right by my side, once he could accept it was not just a new mom feeling. Talk to your husband, get him information, but make him a part of it.

An excellent website with forums specifically for you.

Another helpful, and comical-ish relation was a book by Heather Armstrong - It Sucked, and Then I cried. I can mail the book to you, if you are interested…

May the Lord be with you, and with your family.
 
Thank you all. :grouphug:

I prayed the rosary until I fell asleep and things are better today. I’ve had crying jags but I’ll take that. I’m getting super support from my church’s moms group. 🙂

I’m agreeing to not talk about these things to my husband; it just adds to his stress. I told him mom I thought I was getting PPD again (I was very suicidal with my first two, in the '90s). She basically said, “That’s life. Get over it.” 😦

I’m going to continue to hang in there.

Thanks again.

P-Hoff…you gotta write one of those “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” books–you’ll have a bestseller on your hands 🙂

I wondered the tone of your post.
Why? because I heard about the book but never read it.
So, stupidly, I am going to tell you that I do not know whether it is a praise or a joke…
Gosh-…at least I must see a resume of the book…
Oh! I know! I will ask my wife…
She surely knows it all…forward and backward…

In the last response, I was, jokingly, speaking seriously.
Now, I tell you.
If you know their is postpartum depression, courage, you can go through it as other the other do. You are no more no less. At least you know that there is not a depression for life that can lead to suicide.
There are many blues: Sunday Blues, Post Vacation Blues and so on.
Just listen to you beloved music, relax and think that it is not going to be forever.
Look at a ping-pong ball. If you immerse it in 10 cm of water, when you leave it, it jumps into the air.
But if you immerse in 1 meter of water it will jump much higher.
So, remember that those blues will make you rebound higher when you come out of it.
Go ahead, Girl, you an do it.
We are with you, ok !!!
I will remember you in my prayers.
Courage !
 
Get the help you feel you need. Especially if you had it in the past. Prayer, guidance, and meds, even temporarily, can get you through this. It is a subject not to be taken lightly, far more than the baby blues. As a fellow ppd, I understand, and you will be heavy in my prayers tonight.
 
Oh Surly, I am so sorry you’re going through this. I hope that you can get the support you need. Please see a doctor if it gets bad(so you don’t miss out on the joys of parenting your baby). I think that some of these things are best left to talking about with our girlfriends. Our husbands just want to fix things, sometimes they don’t know how to just listen–that’s what friends are for. If they start telling you to get medical help listen since they probably know you best. Feel free to PM me anytime if you just need an ear.:console:
