I have been suffering from ppd for almost two years. I have had panic attacks mosy of my life and my depression started while pregnant and i didn't want to admit it. It spent many a night the way you are describing and the meds reacted with me in horrible ways. I thought couseling didn't help either but you have to give it a chance it is a long hard process along with finding the right medication. Believe me you don't want to end up like me in a hospital, helplesss and hopeless not caring if you live or die. I am not trying to scare you but you have to find something or someone to help you if not for you for your children! It is alot of hard work and I struggle everyday still but it is worth it. please if i can help in any way message me back!
