Post Partum Depression

So it's almost official. I had a meeting with a woman today, and we talked for just about 2 hours, and since she is a mental health nurse, who on a daily basis meets with post-partum women, and she believes that I have post partum depression.

Not that that comes as a surprise to me. I had the blues for a while after Felicity was born, but I thought it would go away, that I would snap out of it one day. When it didn't go away, I chopped up my constant feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and unbelievable sadness to situational stuff, like my brother, parents...you know, everyday stuff.

But I guess it isn't situational or circumstancial. So she is sending a referral to Dr. Gossom and tomorrow I'm going to call to make an appointment to talk to him, to see if he thinks that she's right...

More updated tomorrow I guess.
