Feeling very sad, very alone

[Slumbersloth]

I've struggled with my mood post partum and rather than getting better it seems to be worse. I'm nearly 6 months post baby. Initially I though by this time things would have gotten easier- like sleep, caring for baby, the relationship with partner. But all seems to be worsening and I feel so alone. I still dont get much time to myself. As im breast feeding baby relies heavily on me for everything - feeding, soothing, putting to sleep, its all me. Im feeling quite burnt out. No family near by. I don't seem to get much understanding from my partner. I want to enjoy the time of having my baby as they grow up so fast. I'm considering some medication. I wanted to hear others experience. Thank you

Sounds so familiar… my postpartum depression started when I had my first baby and lasted up until my second one was about two years old ( they have a 1,5 years old gap) when I finally decided to try anti depressants… It was a game changer…you start seeing the world from a different prospective and feel thankful for every day you are spending with your kids and your family no matter how hard it is… My advise - try it out… there is nothing wrong in taking medication.
