Just gave birth. I think I have PPD. I am so scared. I miss just being me with husband. Although I love my son, I am just scared. I am so scared I cry day and night and I can shake the feeling of falling into a black hole. My life is changing and yet I should be happy but I am not. How can some people seem so happy and how come I am not?

There are no 'shoulds' when you become a mum, just you, being a human being, trying to adapt to the GREATEST change in your life. There's a lot to process, and hormonal issues may be at play. It's ok to be unhappy - but don't suffer alone.
