Did you ever have times of depression before you got PPD?

Was this the first time you have dealt with depression?

This is the first time that I have dealt with depression. It took me a long time to recognize it though.

I definitely think I had bouts of depression before I was diagnosed with PPD. I really think I should have gone on medication years ago. I am a much happier person, I feel better than I did before kids.

Erin that is great that you are feeling so good.
Andrea the important thing is that you did get help .

I have fought depression off and on since about 18 years old. So I have been through the motions. I must say now I can deal much better than before.
