AboutMelissa Expertise I can answer questions about symptoms, what you should do if you think you have Postpartum depression, and I can give you, references to websites to help you better understand it. I cannot diagnose you, I am not a doctor.
Experience I am a survivor of Postpartum depression, I was diagnosed with Postpartum depression, when my son was only two weeks old. I was told that the Postpartum depression I had was one of the worst cases. I was on Antidepressants, that saved me.

Answer Well, I do not know what is wrong, but I know how you feel. After I had my son, I felt like this as well, I had a c-section, rushed for one, because he was in distressed. I did get to experince the labor part for 12 hours, then had it taken away, and my worst night mare of having a csection came true. I can tell you that it doesn't sound like PPD, PPD is when you want to love your child, but just can't, and don't know how. Maybe try talking to your doctor about this, and you might want to talk to your husband about it. Hang in there, I don't really have any real advice for this.
