I posted about this on r/depression but the only advice they had for me was to ask here. I'm really not sure where to go with this, so maybe you all can help.I realized after a year that I've most likely had postpartum depression. I have an obgyn appointment tomorrow for a separate issue and I plan on bringing it up with my doctor while I'm there. I don't know how to go about this, or how to expect her to respond. I'm also really worried about the financial burden this can have on our family, (i have insurance but i don't know how well this will be covered) and how to explain it to our immediate family should it come up. I know I need to get better for my daughter and I don't think I can go any farther without asking for help. I feel ridiculous that it took me this long to realize. Looking back, I can remember showing signs of it from early October, but no one else ever mentioned it and I just thought that it was my new life. I'm very nervous about this and I'm worried my doctor will blow it off since its been so long since I gave birth. Can anyone tell me what to expect and give me an idea of how I should address this issue? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2achGVm
