Re: What do you think?

     It's hard to judge the real extent of PPD from a message board. 

    Definitely. My line of thinking is that if it is just now bad enough that she even sought diagnosis, I don't see one day causing harm (assuming, as others have said, that she's not a danger to herself or the baby).

    I think her husband should have been more supportive, but I don't fault him for thinking about the cost.

    I think this woman (and her OB) is one of the reason healthcare and insurance is so effing expensive.  The only reasons for an ER visit is fear of immediate death or something that must be treated NOW or cause dire consequences.

    Most psych wards will only see you if you go through the ER first. At least, that has been my experience.

    I don't see any indication from her posts that she needs a psych ward. She needs counseling (which won't be cheap either) but her description sounds like PPD and that rarely requires hospitalization.

    That's true. I'm just going based on my experience with PPD. I would think that if a doctor would want her to go to the ER then it may be serious enough for her to need hospitalization. It's hard to judge the real extent of PPD from a message board. 

    Agreed, but there could be some message board induced hysteria going on with her. Within a day she goes from asking people on a baord to diagnose her to OMG I HAVE TO GO TO THE ER RIGHT NOW.

    Absolutely. That seems to be quite a common occurrence on the bump. Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. Back to creepy lurkerdom.

  • I was alarmed by her posts.  Maybe a personal experience I have (not with PPD) makes me read the situation in a different way.

    Well since you begged....Just kidding. I guess my account is only going to be here for a day long so it wouldn't hurt to stay and play.

  • what is going on with your account?
  • We always need new blood around these parts. What's your story?
    image Ready to rumble.
  • I asked them to delete it. I'm just bored of the bump. I can always lurk if I want to but I have no desire or need to be on here anymore. It was great when I was going through my PPD and the colic but I don't know, just bored and need a break.

     My story. I'm a SAHM and currently in school. I like pickles and laffy taffy. I have no animals. My kid is awesome.

  • Yeah, but this is the NEST. Not the Bump. The bump sucks balls.
    image Ready to rumble.
  • I think I remember you from a board on the bump. I am not sure if it was the tri boards or what.

    Ha I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I've had my share of crazy on the bump.

  • We need a new token crazy around here, so don't let that stop you. Were you runoft 12-24 or some other board? What is the deal with that?
    image Ready to rumble.
  • Not run off. I like to think I'm pretty popular over there. At least they know my (screen) name.

    I guess my crazy would include accusing a girl for standing me up for a GTG when it seems like it could have been a misunderstanding. Biitching about my evil heathen of a kid for the first 6 months of her life. Creating an AE to ask "Who would you most like to kick in the face" I fessed up to that AE all on my own. ummm....I'm sure there are a few more.

    I'm sure it won't be that interesting. I'm going to bed soon.

  • I have created AEs in the past. many of us have. Asking one to stir up drama sounds fabulous. Especially face kicking drama.

    What board were you regularly on?

    I spend (spent?) most of my time on 12-24. I'm too lazy to be able to keep up with multiple boards usually. I keep in touch with most of the people that I enjoy in other ways though so have been posting less and less lately.

  • Winged is right. Is this your first time lurking our fine board? I hope not.
    image Ready to rumble.
  • I feel like I've seen your screen name before.

  • Nope. I've actually followed (well, now I really sound creepy) you guys since SB. I'm glad you guys switched over to here though because I truly hate the Knot format.

  • Maybe you will answer since you're GBCBing. Why do we have so many lurkers that don't post?
    image Ready to rumble.
  • I am not ok with that siggy pic.
  • I am not Sam, but I can give you my two cents.

    I think most lurkers are still scared of what they saw on SB and are afraid of getting flamed.

    Also this is such a tight knit of friends that I think that most will not feel accepted.

    I think sometimes you guys can be a little intimidating. It's obvious you guys have become extremely close over the years and some may think it's hard to break into the group. Some people are just hoping for some drama. Also, since you guys haven't had any drama lately I think some people fear being your next "victims".

    And me personally, I don't think I'm really all that funny or clever so I'm not sure if I would fit into the board that well. I have a some rare gems that I throw out now and again but they are few and far between.

  • But we are all kittens and puppies now. We are a whole different board.

    But I can understand the close knit group aspect.

  • Yes, we're tight. But like an erection, the circle can always grow.

    Thats right, everyone has gone soft since bearing children.

    Sometimes I miss the drama. Maybe I'll volunteer myself as a sacrificial lamb to get something going.

    mmm lamb is delicious.

    There have been times when people have complained about it being slow/boring around here. Talking about wanting to be on an international board so you could get more traffic and other such talk. I think at times it seems like you guys could be itching to get back to the old babyless days of snarking. And nobody wants to be the ones to bring back the snark, unless of course it's directed at someone other than them.
