Is this part of PPD or just depression in general...
Everytime I read a birth story I burst into tears. Three months ago I wrote my own birth story, so why is it making me so sad? I did a great job with my labor and with my delivery. I had pitocin and only had demerol for pain. I was very proud of myself. I made my goal during labor I wanted to avoid an epidural if I could handle the pain. I had one naturally and one via emergency c-section. I am seeing my doctor about post partum depression and taking wellbutrin (not for very long yet).
So what is wrong with me???? Why am I crying? I have been blessed with two handsome baby boys and I am sitting here crying feeling absolutely horrible and sad. Why am I sad?

It is so hard to make a distinction between the two after you have had a baby. Were you depressed before the baby? If not then it is probably PPD. If you were then it is probably both. I was the same way, looking at my beautiful DD and saying to myself that I should be happy and why am I crying. Well....your hormones took a serious dive after delivery and as your body readjusts (as well as it can with PCOS) you go through some serious ups and downs. Just know that you are not alone! We are here to support you and you have beautiful children to love and who love you back unconditionally!
Keep us updated! ((((Hugs))))

I have been on Wellbutrin for only a couple weeks. I had taken it for a couple weeks and thought "I dont need it" but after reading alot of things I realized I probably should take it. My emotions went back to being a roller coaster. I started retaking it last Friday. I have an appt this Thursday with my doc to talk about it too.
I think I was depressed before, but I refused to accept it. I thought I was just being...well, I dont know. I obviously wasnt using my head. Thank you very much for your support.

You did what I have done in the past. You don't think you need the meds because they are actually WORKING and making you feel better so you feel as if it is you and not the meds so you stop taking them. I fought my depression for a long time but I finally realized that life with meds is better than without them. I really hope things pick up for you and you start to feel better very soon. Take care.
