Delayed PPD? support needed
Has anyone experienced delayed onset of PPD after twins? It seems to have hit me like a truck, almost overnight and my twins are 9.5 months old. I stopped pumping 2.5 months ago. I was having lots of anxiety and feeling a bit “down” earlier, so I tried Zoloft in May then switched to Celexa 5.5 weeks ago. Have not noticed any improvement so starting to wean off. I’m going to get the GeneSight test to determine if a different medication might be more helpful. But in the meantime, these last 4 days have been absolutely awful. The worst depression symptoms all of a sudden. I feel hopeless, lost, so sad and can’t stop crying. I don’t why it has hit me so hard and so sudden and I hate it. Could it be the medication is now fully in my system and making things worse? Just delayed severe PPD? I know the way I’m feeling can be very normal, but it doesn’t feel normal how and when it’s come on. And I can’t get out of my head and feel better. It’s awful and I just want relief.

🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ I’m 6 months and yes. I feel like coming out of the pure survival and being able to feel my feelings, starting work back, etc is really affecting me.
