here is my original post - hey..my little girl is two weeks old and i do love her and wanna take care of her but i just dunno whats wrong with me, i am crying ALL the time and i dont know why, i cry when people are here, when i'm by myself, on the phone even feeding the baby i just cry! i'm bf so i dunno if that makes a difference. i cant stand to look at myself in the mirror anymore i hate my post-preg body i think its disguisting and i cant stand my bf touching me and when he does i feel sick....has anyone felt this way? and if they have is it just baby blues or something worse? please gimme some suggestions!
New Info...nothing has really changed and she is just over 2 months old. except now my issue with my looks has gotten worse..i have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of this excess weight and its just not working. I'm meant to be going back to school next year and i dunno how i'm gonna cope with my final year if i'm still feeling this way. Anyone got this problem??

Have you seen your doctor yet? I think you may really need to. I went on antidepressants after my 2nd was born, and on them a month before my 3rd was born (and REALLY should have with my 1st) and in two weeks I was completely my old self again. There are also other treatments. Many times the treatments work very quickly. You shouldn't have to suffer like this...

Hi young mum! I am so sorry that you are not feeling better. I think my baby is a week older than yours. I talked to the doctor about how i was feeling because I was not feeling better and they gave me some medicine to help. Do you have any support system? And just curious, how old are you? I really feel for you b/c i feel like I have been there. Let me know. cjackson1531@yahoo.com

Hi, I think the symptoms you are describing are post natal depression. It is very common nowadays and certainley nothing to be ashamed of. I also struggled with my son, my body was never same as before pregnancy and i seemed to struggle to find my ident_ty again, i felt extremely overwhelmed once i became a mum, although i adored him and couldnt be without him !!!
Please dont worry to much, go to your doctor and explain everything.
Good luck xxx
