I had post-partum depression about a week after my son's birth. I think I was delusional; I believed that my purpose in life was to have my child and now that he was born my purpose was over and his father should raise him.

I called my ob-gyn and told him I was depressed and he said, everyone has that after childbirth, and told me to drink a beer. Seriously he told me that. About three days after that conversation I tried to overdose but I survived it.
