Nope. I had post partum depression, it lasted years. (I also had a sociopath of a husband so, that did not help me, but, I digress.)

Listen dear: If you are not okay please seek professional help. If you have the blues, or more, it's (probably) all HORMONAL but, you must seek help. It's just better for you and your baby or babies and family. You are only as able to care for them as your well being allows you to be.

[u]I don't know what I would have done had I not been in touch with a postpartum professional.[/u] I legitimately thought I was losing my mind bc I had thoughts of harming myself and my child. It was terrifying. And if I am being totally frank, I wanted to end myself because of those thoughts to hurt my child.

Take good care of you and your little love.

Hugs, L.
