Moms - A Q?
Sorry to be posting a BR question here but this is where I feel most comfortable. I've been feeling so down lately. I've had a diagnosis of depression for almost 10 years, but when I'm on my meds (Celexa) I am able to manage it really well. I don't know if this is exhaustion or PPD a little late in the game but all those feelings are coming back - anxiety, sadness, worthlessness, hopelessness. Does PPD hit this late? Or is it just exhaustion from being at home with a 5 month old who has decided sleeping is no fun?
Re: Moms - A Q?
Aww hugs.
Definitely give your doctor a call. It would not be unusual timing for the onset of PPD. Even if it is exhaustion, your doctor will be able to assist.
Do you have a public health nurse/family home visitor, coming to see you? They can come by for weekly visits that I have found have been really useful for the moms that I volunteer with.

I don't know if you saw my reply from the PPD board but with DS I was fine up until 5 months or so and with DD it showed up after only 2 weeks and there are some who it takes up to 2 years. I also see a therapist once a month.
I find that I am much better on Celexa and I am actually really glad that I didn't wait too long this time.
