I suffered with postpartum depression after the birth of my daughter. I struggled to get help and for someone to take me seriously. My husband was useless and did not care at all what I was going through. My OBGYN finally prescribed anti-depressants for me after me repeatedly telling him something was wrong. It is just a miracle that I didn't kill myself before the meds kicked in.

[@kate4biglittlevoices]

I feel like if more people that had to experience the severe depths of trying to survive and have hope but also “may take weeks to months to experience a change “ would never settle for This alone, yes, prescribe the antidepressant, but have a rescue 🛟 for now. And also, don’t make finding , and obtaining real help so damn difficult- it pisses me right off to hear - reach out to some one , make a call? Get help , there’s hope out there - sure, a healthy sound fully well person could manage to tackle the rabbit holes to access care, that’s another mission although to a person in crisis - like , yes , it’s possible to make it into outer space and the moon these days , but it’s definitely gonna depend on if you are nasa or you are Wiley coyote

I had postpartum depression after giving birth to my twin daughters, my husband worked out of state an I had nobody to help me, one night out of sheer terror that I was going to kill myself, I packed up in the middle of the night and ran for our lives to my mother living in another state, that saved our lives and I had help to get stronger. 24 years ago this was not a widely discussed topic or diagnosis and I thank God these last two decades for giving me that strength to save us.

My husband was extremely supportive as well and finally the sun shined again. I feel so sorry for this bright and beautiful young mother. I wish she had the grace that she deserved.

No words. My sympathies to her husband and beautiful daughters. PPD is nothing to be ashamed of. Our bodies go through so much during pregnancies/ deliveries. It is hard to communicate how we’re feeling through recovery, with little to no sleep, all the hormonal changes. Feelings can change from one min. To the next. It’s crazy. It’s not an easy fix, and it’s not a one size fits all fix either.

I didn't understand what it was. I thought I had anger issues and was just a bad mom, which made me feel worse. I thank God I survived because I remember how low I felt and how alone. Idk how I did it. But antidepressants saved me. It's crazy to look back and remember how I felt and the fog that was cast over everything around me as I only could focus on how horrible I felt.

I deal with tantrums and challenges with their diagnoses, i have mental health issues and physical issues myself. My mother died a year ago, my 1 sibling is hardly in my life, never close to any extended family. My bf is kinda useless most times. I have 1 friend i can trust alone with my children and they work full time. When i say i havent had a break in almost 4 yrs except to go to medical appointments (and even then about 1/2 of those get ruined), i truly mean it. Talking to a therapist only does so much and the meds take 4-6 weeks to know if they are even working. Its a dark lonely place for some of us

I wad SO depressed in '77 when pregnant with my only child. I was worried about the world I was bringing him into. I didn't think I was depressed I thought I was just being realistic about the sorry state of the world. And didn't think things could ever change. Luckily I had recently read about postpartum depression. They called it the baby blues back then, do I realized it was hormones or whatever cause it and that it wasn't permanent. But if I hadn't read about it, I don't know what I might have done. I was not thinking of harming my baby. It doesnt even make sense that I would be worried about the world I was bringing my baby into, but thinking of leaving him alone.

Staying awake at nights and not able to sleep in day too. Women goes crazy due to lack of sleep and hearing these heartbreaking stuff from husbands.

[@lindseysaunders1700]

It’s possible in some cases that’s a contributing factor but I think it’s safe to say in this case that was not what happened. As the twins were still at the hospital in the Nicu, when she took her own life. So at home they were likely still having the same routine they were having before.

[@Kay_The_Coffee_Weirdo]

No. It's simply unresolved mental health issues. I stupidly didn't deal with my issues before I got pregnant, and then had a suicidal breakdown when my daughter was two. This is why it's so important to make sure that you're fully healthy enough to have babies before you actually have them, and this is why accessible contraception and family planning (up to and including abortion) is essential for a successful experience with having children.

Nothing suspicious about post partum depression. Many new mothers get awful thoughts of guilt and that they are not good enough, the thoughts of having responsibility to take care of themselves, baby, family adds to the turmoil. Add 4 to 5 hours of fragmented sleep to the mess and a new mom is in the worst condition ever. Not to mention people throwing a light jesty comment on how easy things are nowadays compared to what the 'ancient' women used to. Any small cause can be a major trigger to suicidal thoughts. Only those who have been through this can relate to how terrible this is. I am surprised that even after many PPD deaths in the world, people still think it's nothing and... Suspicious???

That’s the thing I’ve been having depression since 10 years old and now I’m 20 years old and still dealing with depression, I went through the worse depression when I was 15,16,17, years old and I was on medication and it didn’t help at all but it increased my thoughts to harm myself and kill myself, after that God gave me strength to leave the pills but rely on him even with the ups and downs and I thank God because it’s true I don’t need them but now what I realize is that my depression was actually blinded me not physically but mentally. I waisted two years doing nothing which I could’ve went to college and more but now at 20 I knew God hid that in me and made me open my eyes because I was actually doing some quick moves without actually thinking through and no wonder my parents will be aware and watch over me and now that I’m 20 I have a new therapist, I’m now slowly growing up to a lady to be. Yes depression is hard but just know through Christ you can do anything and everything takes time so forget about the year wastes but start doing something. Also if you want take pills go ahead I’m not here to judge because I try it out but just know you can rely on pills forever because what if the depression or whatever mental illness comes back again ? You can’t rely on a pill but on God only and I don’t say it from religion I actually say by God does love you and wants you to rely on him more than K-pop music, than pills, than smoking weed, then drinking till your numb. You need to understand that whatever it is that you can manage it through Christ because if God isolated you thank him because that’s when God was keeping you safe from doing anything that will lead you to death or worse doing something here that anyone will know or regrets.

Amen! I went through a very dark depression until I gave my life to Jesus Christ. He healed me and gave me a joy and peace that surpasses all understanding! I’m talking from experience! Best thing that happened to me is God! Please pray if you feel sad… Jesus always helps the broken hearted.

Thing is. I am dealing with postpardom and you have to be stronger. She chose to leave her family and I am sad for the family. But think the mom was selfish.

Agree...she shouldn't have had another child after the first one she went thru the same thing...just my opinion from my own experience...tq

I bet the husband was abusive

I bet you are a moron to say something so serious without any proof. POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION IS REAL. SOMETIMES even HAPPENS to the happiest MOMS AFTER giving birth. IT IS DUE TO AN HORMONAL IMBALANCE. It is nobody's fault.

[@Rose_amethyst]

No way it Takes longer than 9 days to develop a depression severe enough to manifest into taking one's life. She must've been suffering during pregnancy.

[@BipolarCappyCorn]

Not when you factor in the massive hormone swing that happens with pregnancy and giving birth. As someone with a mental illness I get warnings, those with PPD don’t always AND since there’s no much stigma they can’t talk about it. It happens quite drastically for some and gradual for others.

[@Scl45689]

Really? Where did you get your medical degree? What medical studies did you head that showed this?

[@lindseysaunders1700]

No it’s doesn’t. All of my attempts have been impulsive. That’s very common. Taking one’s life is rooted in more than just depression, sometimes you just want to escape pain or fear. Perhaps she became convinced her nicu babies would die or never come home to her and in her already altered state that resulted in a sudden attempt that was unfortunately successful. You can be doing great a one trigger can have you on your knees. This is misinformation about suicide.

[@Harley1993]

She had a history of depression and post pardon from their first child. The signs were there...he even said he saw it but did nothing about it. He's not depressed so why would he care.

[@Rose_amethyst]

Exactly. And there's no way it took 9 days to develop a depression severe enough to take her own life. She had to been suffering during pregnancy. I'm currently 9m pregnant and the depression is hitting me hard.

Neither of you or anyone else has a right to judge this man or his wife. You don't know them or their situation nor are you doctors in this speciality. Shame on you both ! PPD has no timeline and is much worse in premature births! Find some compassion before clicking away on the keyboard of hell !😠

[@touredjacked4167]

It saddens me this happened. But, what I find odd is that nowhere in the I nternet does it mention how she killed herself. Was it drug overdose, gun, or what. I don’t have a morbid curiosity, but these are relevant facts to the case. I just don’t like media leaving out details. Why?

[@rebeccachurch5200]

He should be up on charges! He aided in her death by ignoring the situation. He should have his kids taken away! If there were more consequences in these instances for the men involved maybe things could improve for women! We still live in a country ruled and run by men that don't really care about anyone but themselves!

[@rebeccachurch5200]

@@jeannejeffer5509 Wait just a minute! He should be up on charges! He did nothing to help his wife, he even admitted it! So find another platform! Why should he be let off the hook? That is what is wrong with society, men get a pass to be assholes!

I have a 6 month old and sometimes and solely breastfeeding him. How and or what exactly does depression feel like? Sometimes I think I feel like i do have it then sometimes maybe I'm overthinking it and go on with my day.

@elizabethmartinez930…Hi, 🙋🏽‍♀️💕I’m a retired Paramedic. Elizabeth you need to speak with someone about your feelings. If you need to, go to your local Emergency Room and ask to speak with someone from their “Crisis Intervention” team. Advise them you have a 6month old at home and you NEED to talk with someone. Sending love 🥰and good wishes your way💐☀️
