I'm really struggling a bit the past few weeks. I've been posting but I find it - well, everything - a real effort and I'm just not myself. I thought that the PPD was pretty under contol with therapy, but I'm seriously reconsidering meds. Anyway to all of you that deserve better and gave better to me, I'm sorry about my lackluster support as of late.

Marie, Emily, Kelly - Congratulations!!!!!!! I am so happy for all of you.

Natalie and Suzanne and all the pregnant ladies - Hang in there. You're so strong, so special... you're doing great!

Joanna - When I return from my self imposed hiatus (need a little time away from HG) I'm hoping to read that you have news!

Lisa and Teddi and Pamela - You have always been so wonderful to me. Thank you for your friendship!

Anyone I forgot, forgive me, it's not that you are forgettable, just that I'm not myself.

I'll be back. Until then... I love you guys and stay strong.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Seek the help you need and do nice things for yourself. I am here for you if you need to vent/talk. PPD is so rough.

Love,
Joanna

Hugs, Meg. Support here extends far beyond the pregnancy and HG! Take care of yourself because you definitely deserve a happy-ever-after.

Hi Meg,

Not sure if you will read these posts or not, but my thoughts are with you. I am going through a pretty hard time myself and I can't imagine PPD on top of it. Please take care of and be good to yourself!

Meg,

Do go get some help for the PPD. It can be so awful! I had it pretty bad with #3 and it was still lingering with #4. Was treated, but it took quite a while to get on top. I can actually feel some symptoms starting to return and I am not even to third tri yet. But we plan on treating about 37 weeks so we are hopefully on top before it gets bad. Hang in there and get as much support as you can. I was unable to do anything but feed and change my baby, the other kids, dh, and house suffered. I was frozen, couldn't do anything.

We are here when you need us. Sending prayers your way!

Oh Meg, I understand what you are going through. It is so hard. I had to distance myself a bit until I was ready to truly help others as well. You have to take care of yourself FIRST. PLease knoe that I am here for you anytime you need me, even if you want to talk on the telephone...just pm and I will call you right up.

Hang in there, and please know that you are going to get past this in time.
All my love and support!!!!!!!!

I will miss you, but I know you will come back in YOUR time!!!!

Dear Meg,

I'm sorry you're not feeling yourself and totally understand needing time away from HG. I took five years off after Chris was born...just couldn't cope with it. Like Lisa said, please feel free to call me too. Been there and done that with the PPD.

Also, consider looking up a few sites for resources on PPD...get some books, maybe post at a forum, that sort of thing as you seek support in the coming weeks and months. www.postpartumstress.com has the MOST excellent books. And www.postpartum.net has terrific research and a lovely forum I visit sometimes. Oh, and www.tabs.org.nz is a resource for PTSD info, not sure if that is something you are dealing with, but thought I'd note the site anyway.

You're such a dear woman, and I'm so grateful to have the chance to know you through this forum. As much as HG sucks, gotta say, I love the company. Know we all love you and send our support and prayers.

Love,
Suzanne

I have only just seen this thread. How are you getting along now? Take each day as it comes and don't rush to come back before you're ready.

Love Natalie, x

I am so sorry that you are going through PPD. I appologize that I did not chime in earlier....I just saw this thread...Tyler is almost a month old and I just made my way into this folder.

Please take all the time you need for yourself and your family....we are here for you if you want to talk.

Thinking of you....
Hugs and Love,
Marie
