Did you have postpartum depression after a c-section and how did you cope?

Question by BirthDramaMamma: Did you have postpartum depression after a c-section and how did you cope?
I had a c-section 7 months ago and I’m having so much trouble finding help. I finally got an appointment with a counselor but it’s not for another month. I’m not so interested in taking medication; I just want to feel better about myself and what happened to me. Just wondering if anyone else had postpartum depression and what helped?

Thanks in advance.

Answer by Mrs Mum
My first was a c-section and was very anxious with my first born that my GP (a dumb male) insisted on meds. I refused and got through it after about 1 year. In hindsight I was a bit of a control freak, a worrier and feared I may make a mistake and harm my baby.

With my second, who was born naturally (yes a VBAC is very possible depending on the reasons for the c-section) my hormones went crazy and with my sleep deprivation and my daughters cows milk (from my own diet passed through my breastmilk) I went a little wierd.

I got through it by concentrating on the positive in my life and I would write down 10 things in my life I was grateful for. Within a month, I’m happier now than I have ever been. Give it a try.

How to help others cope with depression?

Alan — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 05:32:25 +0000

I know that I am depressed and have a bad body image/low-self esteem (due to the past).

My boyfriend knows it as well and it really bothers him. He wants to help but doesn’t know what to do and gets really frustrated and angry with me.

What can I tell him to do to help me out?

Is there anything that he can do to help me deal with it?

What kind of tips would you give to another to help one deal with depression?

Please help, this is tearing my relationship apart.

I gave birth on the 21st and feel terrible. Worse than I ever felt in my entire life. I was put on Zoloft and hoping this will relieve my agony. I am anxious, irritable, can’t sleep, cry a lot, and have thoughts about killing myself.

HELP! Does anyone know a natural medication for bipolar/manic-depression or any natural ways to cope?

Alan — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 23:35:12 +0000

Even though I’ve been in hell all my life I know there is light here and at the end of the tunnel. I know all things can change and become better from the inside in a natural way. I feel that to get a prescription from a psychiatrist is no different than hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. I won’t know ’till I try, but I don’t want to risk it. It’s too scary and dangerous. If anyone out there knows of any natural way of going about something this terrible, please help me! Thank you!
