I was told today by the OB-GYN resident and attending that they think I am developing postpartum depression. So they decided to schedule my Valium instead of having it be a PRN. They also told me that ppd normal only gets worse without treatment, they also told me that ppd can become extremely dangerous and deadly. I just feel so horrible and there is nothing that can be done while I am WCHOB (Women and Childrens Hospital of Buffalo). I just dont know what to do at this point. I want to go home so badly, but I know that I need help because my thoughts are not very good plus all I tend to do is sleep. I have to force myself to eat. Plus I cry alot and I am fine on minute and the next minute I hate the world and everyone in it. I have also been keeping to myself alot more. Need advice please.

I'm with Yoda on this 100% (((tmac87))). PPD is nothing to fool around with - stay in the hospital until they have you stabilized and make certain that very close and frequent follow-up is provided once you are released. Get your hands on as much information regarding PPD as you can and learn everything you can about it and how to deal with it. Please be safe and get this under control.

It's nothing to play with. I would definitely make sure I stayed where I could get that help immediately, so I think staying in the hospital is the best option. Even though I realize that you probabl want to just get home and get on with life, please stay put for right now.
Thanks for this!
