If you have had postnatal depression, how did you know you had it ? Did you take medication and if so for how long ? How did you know you were ready to stop taking it ? How long did it last and did you feel back to normal ?
Thanks

I knew I had it when those close to me spoke to me. I had become irrational at the smallest thing and constantly cancelling on people, and doing nothing with my life.
I'm on antidepressants now and my life feels normal. It's not all unicorns and sparkles but it takes the edge off. Been on the for 2.5 years and I've tried coming off them but didn't like who I was.
I'd happily be on them forever if they let me live my life.
