Hi...Has anyone here suffered from post partum depression?? I have, I didnt have it like horribly, just found myself wanting to walk away from my family..that has been almost four years ago, but do You ever completely recover from it?/ I have always had problems with depression from things that people have done to me, the way I have been treated, I hide myself away, and never want to face anyone (except my husband and my daughter, I feel completely loved around them and safe..well most of teh time..lol There has only been one time in my life that i wanted to kill myself, and I didnt have the guts to do it..in fact i was young and told my mom too get the knife and I would kill myself! I feel good most days, but when i dont, and still have to do everything I always do everyday, you better watch out..I have been to counseling, for myself due to some things I found out happened in my life, that we never knew about, or just forgot.. but anyhow anyone got answers??

yes i had it when my first daughter was born, maybe it was because life as i knew it was pretty much over...i sat around and cried for a couple of days (pretty much non stop) and then i was fine, but i think i can still call it ppd...
