Wow Brandy! That is SO hard! Yes, PPD sucks. You need attention, but the baby needs it too and something has to give. Totally relate. Praying for you friend! God is near to the brokenhearted!

The only thing that helped her was to bounce her on an exercise ball non-stop. So my choice was listen to her scream and cry or be in excruciating pain bounding on a ball with a broken tailbone. For months. Eventually I couldn’t take it anymore and I ended up hospitalized for PPD for 2 weeks while my shocked family scrambled to try to care for her in my absence. The medications helped a tiny bit but never really fixed the PPD. Eventually they started piling on more and more meds and I just felt drowsy and gained 60lbs but nothing helped. In the meantime we just continued to struggle as our colic baby turned into a high needs 2 year old. To this day I still suffer from horrible back pain and I’m making my way through various procedures to find relief. I eventually gave up on all the meds and tapered off of them, I feel no worse and no better. I can relate with everything you’ve written in both of your posts. I just wanted you to know that you’re not alone. I don’t have all the answers. I’m a christian too, and it’s a huge struggle reconciling this with a loving God. Sometimes the best I can do is agree to withhold judgement until I do have the answers. I hope that things will get better for both of us, whatever that means!

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! Do you have support and people that know your struggles? I’m not opposed to meds, though I think you should come at depression from every angle. I highly recommend Depression by Ed Welch for a well rounded Biblical approach. http://amzn.to/2u5pZgV Reading it was a major turning point for me. Praying for you dear sister!

Thank you for these posts on ppd. I am reading them as I lay awake in the wee hours of the morning struggling against horrible anxiety caused by ppd. This is my 6 th baby and I was hopeful that this time would be ok. Unfortunately the rage and despair have returned with a vengeance. As if that weren’t enough, it has morphed into horrible panic attacks that leave me uncontrollably shaking with fear that I am about to die. The worst part is I was just released from the hospital with a life threatening heart event. So I can’t easily convince myself that it’s probably just a panic attack, even though my cardiologist diagnosed me with ppd again after several panic attacks in the hospital. Reading your posts have helped. As a believer, what are your thoughts on medication? I am desperate for relief. Thank you for your help.
