MM mentioned she may have had postpartum psychosis. Well, I am still up (much too high but still functional) but have been so resentful towards all three of my kiddos. I honestly feel annoyed and like they are burdensome much of the time (and I HATE this and also hate to admit this). I hardly want to spend time with them and am often irritated by the baby's cry. I think and feel like I can't be their mom anymore and fear (albeit irrationally) I could walk out on them. I am not sure if this is because I'm likely becoming manic and just don't want to be bothered, if this is normal adjusting to three kiddos with crazy hormones, or if I am losing touch. I am worried. Does it sound like I'm becoming psychotic? Do I need to call my doc (I'm afraid she wil want to hospitalize me)? Or should I wait until I see her again next Thurs? Can I get away with not telling her at all? Opinions please.
