I'm over 3 months postpartum now and still am not feeling much relief from the depression and anxiety. I just read that very low levels of estrogen can do this and is very common after giving birth, but I was sure I would start to even out by now.
It's gotten so bad that my mom is flying back up here tomorrow morning since begging and pleading with my husband to stay home from work to "help me get through today" just isn't feasible.
Dr. Jay (my psychiatrist) has me continuing the Prozac along with another drug that will help with the obsessive worrying and anxiety. I've only been taking the combo for a couple of weeks, but I'm not sure if it will work.
My mom's ticket is open-ended. It's that bad.
I have a doctor's appointment Friday morning to have my hormone levels and thyroid checked.
Hoping this provides some type of answer.
It feels like I'm running in knee-deep water...and I need to make it from Seattle to New York City in two days.
