Just wanted to know if there is anyone who is suffering from post-partum right now... I have been struggling for nearly four months and I want to see if anyone else is in the same boat. I am just starting the program and hoping for the best!

Hi there,
I just had my baby 3 weeks ago, and I too have ppd. I am restarting the program, as I have completed Lucinda's program in the past and it worked, however after having my daughter the panic attacks have come back full force. I tried antidepressants and they did not work for me they just gave me a headache and I did not feel like myself. I believe in the positive self talk and one moment at a time.

Thank you! Wow, you are brave, 4 kids and post-partum each time I am ready to throw in the towel after just one! I tell my husband that our daughter will have cousins that will be like siblings Yes, any bits of wisdom that you have to send are appreciated. I have post partum depression, but awful anxiety too, and I find that they feed eachother, a horrible combination!

I have had 4 kids and didn't discover that what I had was depression. I was too busy being mean to all the idiots around me. I get meds now before I even leave the hospital but I worry about the babies while I breastfeed. My 2 Lexapro babies have had terrible reflux. For me the post partum just turned into the regular thing and I have been medicated for the best part of 4 years. I just stopped 8 weeks ago and I hope this works. Post partum is so hard. How can you be so happy about the baby and so sad for no reason. I think some of it is having another person with you almost all the time and not getting a break. I would be happy to lend any wisdom I have learned if you are interested.
