Is anger a sign of postpartum depression?

[chelsee]

May feeling ba kayo na ganito?

[SnowBall]

^sis, anger ng walang dahilan? what kind of anger? Pwedeng postpartum blues lang or depression,
but if you feel you are experiencing something not you before giving birth, you better ask for help.

Help from your family, your love ones, in coping with your new stressful situation, and you may also
ask help from a specialist who could understand what you're going through and give you ways on how to
better cope. Take care sis, =)

Anger sa daughter ko... Parang walang care at nasasaktan ko agad ng walang dahilan... Pero after na gawin ko yun my guilt na naffeel ako
pero 3 yrs na...

[SnowBall]

^sis, untreated postpartum depression can last up to years... Actually, I get you.. kasi naranasan ko din yan, yun lang
naagapan yung akin, and now okay na ako. Better seek help na sis, nakakaawa din kasi ang daughter mo, siyempre
hindi naman niya naiintindihan yung pinagdadaanan mo ngayon diba.. goodluck sis.

[delisyus]

yup... better seek professional help. At best, it could just be your discipline with your child. At worst, you may have untreated depression that's affecting your relationship with your child.

I undergone postpartum depression/blues after I gave birth and I was happy na naging maayos na ako I think it last for several days sa akin.

[minicake]

Ako [textspeak!] after giving birth up to now na magwa1 year old na baby ko sobrang sensitive ko as in to the point na ang bilis ko maintimidate ngayon while before I was so brave na even my boss pinapatulan ko,ngayon magseself pitty na [textspeak!] ako kesa lumaban I feel so week. Parang I lost my strong personality.. Do I need to undergo theraphy na ba?

[delisyus]

it could be... but it could also just be a sign of exhaustion and fear (fear you're not in control, not doing enough, not doing things right, not meeting YOUR expectations, etc)


post partum blues is common and usually resolves itself, minsan, ice cream or ilang major iyak lang ang kailangan... post partum depression is something more serious, and needs professional assistance/intervention

Buhayin ko lang tong post na to. 

What are the signs of postpartum depressions?  Postpartum pa din ba kung pagkabuntis pa lang eh ayaw na nya sa baby? Ito kasing friend ko na mag 1 month pa lang nanganganak, kinumusta ko.  Na-CS sya dahil nakabalagbag yung baby.  Nasabi na niya sa kin na after niya manganak malayo daw loob niya sa baby niya, sabi ko magbreastfeed parang bonding na lang din nila.  Ayaw niya, tinigilan niya magpump ng milk 2 weeks after niya manganak. 

Now tinext ko siya kung ganun pa din feelings niya towards the baby.  And sabi niya oo daw, pag daw naiinis siya at umiiyak yung baby at masakit sugat niya tinatampal daw niya.  Minsan daw hinahagis din.
Sabi ko magpacheck up siya dahil nakakatakot baka kung anong magawa niya sa anak niya.  Postpartum pa din ba yun kahit even before siya manganak eh ayaw na niya sa baby?

[skyrimgal]

hindi ko alam sis kung PPD nga yung sa friend mo but i think kung sinasaktan niya na ang anak niya, she needs to see SOMEONE. kawawa naman ang baby niya. walang kamalay-malay sinasaktan. bakit siya maiinis kapag umiiyak eh natural sa baby ang umiyak? ako CS din at emergency CS pa dahil nilagnat kami ni baby nung pinapanganak ko siya. super stressful ang panganganak ko pero never kong pinalo si baby kahit na nung first 4 days post partum ay literal na wala akong tulog. ang inaaway ko lang ay si hubby hehe dun ko nilabas ang frustration ko.

[miminibebe]

^Ako din sis, si hubby ang kawawa sa kin nung after ko manganak, nung nasa hospital kami talagang nabubulyawan ko siya sa inis, pero like you, never ako nainis sa baby at lalong di ko sinaktan.  Kinoconvince ko siya actually to mention it kahit sa OB niya, pero ayaw niya, OK na daw siya.  I'm just hoping and praying na di na nga niya sinasaktan yung bata.

Hi mga sis! Im just new here and Im so happy I was able to join this site to share my insights and experiences as a new mom, and learn from fellow moms as well  I also suffered from postpartum depression for almost two months. Cs delivery ako and hnd ako ngpa-breastfeed kay baby, i found out na symptoms na pla un ng PPD. I always feel down, ang dami kong gustong gawin na d ko magawa. I feel useless and irritated. Lagi din kami ng-aaway ng hubby ko dahil [textspeak!] sa mga simpleng bagay. dumadating din sa point na naiinis ako pag aasikasuhin ko si baby. Doesn't sound good db? kaya naman i searched online and look for tips para mwala [textspeak!] PPD ko. Eventually unti-unti din nmang naglaho un. Lalo na nung nabinyagan si baby and dumating sss maternity ko  I guess, part na talaga un sa ating mga babae after childbirth. if you're still suffering from PPD for more than 3 months, better visit ur ob. Hope this helps!

Paano ba madidiscover kung may postpartum depression ka na? Usually lang ba ito sa after giving birth?

[vermich]

accdg to babycenter Symptoms may include:
Irritability or hypersensitivity.
Difficulty concentrating.
Anxiety and worry.
Crying or tearfulness.
Anger.
Negative feelings such as sadness, hopelessness, helplessness, or guilt.
Loss of interest in activities you usually enjoy.
Difficulty sleeping (especially returning to sleep)

kung may napapansin na kayong symptoms na ganyan sa friend nyo or someone close to you, remember they are also overwhelmed sa pagbubuntis and giving birth. Meron pa nga they say mukhang alien yun anak nila, ibang tao daw or baka na-switch sa hospital. They have to tell that sa obgyn yun mga feelings na ganun para makapagbigay ng prescribed medicines. Mostly diet din ng fish or vitamin ng fish oils.

Nangyari din sa akin ito hanggang 6 months after kong manganak. Palagi kaming nag-aaway ni hubby noon, grabe! hindi ko ma-imagine na nangyari sa amin ni hubby yun. Almost everyday ata kaming nag-aaway hindi ko mapaigil sarili ko pero bukod tanging sya lang inaaway ko. Si baby never ko syang sinaktan ang gusto ko lang noon lagi ko syang kasama, kapag nag-aaway kami ni Hubby gusto ko syang layasan kasama si baby.

Im feeling din anger din at many things - blaming myself, my body, our situation, etc lahat na! lalo na when I had my second child last yr, it all brings back the memries of my "failed breastfeeding journey" sa eldest ko (medyo di ko na idedetalye baka maluha ako at OT hehe).

Kasi ba naman as in wala talaga akong milk sa eldest ko(sana naman somebody can relate to me here), tapos Im expecting I can breastfeed on my second na pero mas madami lang ng ilang patak and totally lost it when I had my menstruation;(;(;( (hay it's depressing din for me the thought palang of giving up huhuhu)

so sakin mixed anger-andali ko magalit at mainis, blame sa sarili ko at sa body ko, insecurity mas hirap ako mglose weight now compare before younger pako, ansungit ko minsan talaga kahit upto now i sometimes feeling those parin

-> what is helping me a lot lang is strengthening my faith to keep me sane - making sure Im in tune w/ the Lord everyday, going to church listen to sermons even online, bonding with kids, hobbies-learning new things, crafts, and a short chat to hubby everyday just to vent out my worries
