You can still bond and have ppd. If you are still feeling this way after this amount of time though I would talk to your doc about it. I know someone with it and they bond with their children but still needed to be on medication for it.

@canusernamebemyusername thqnk you for your message...im not sure if that is what it is..but i am feelibg down...i always thought that women with ppd dont bond with their baby....actually it started since a few weeks or so
@WildwoodFlower Everybody can react different to stuff and might not fit the definition. But having a baby is rough on the body and biochemistry. It can def cause changes in your brain. If it keeps up or gets worse certainly see someone about it. Also being tired from a new baby isn't helping I'm sure. The person I know had to be put on Zoloft for hers.

I think the depression comes from the complete 180 your life has taken as you adjust. And as your little girl grows and grows, life changes the moment you get used to it. It's a beautiful thing. Being a Mom is not easy. I have PTSD and I've always been depressed, anxious, pretty much crazy. I slept with my son's clothes for years to help me sleep. Exercise. Eating well. And also ignoring the unreasonable expectations of modern society. Just focus on your girl. She will always always get you through.
