Glad you're getting some help though and hope you feel better soon.</p> <p>As for the woman's comments - what a B! How rude and inappropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212594 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 04:23:41 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1212594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee:<br /> People can be so heartless and rude. To see you. In obvious distress and not only not try to comfort you, but to shame you?!?! The nerve of such people.</p> <p>I'm so sorry about the PPD but perhaps now that you've allowed yourself to go there and see it as a problem, you'll be able to get the support you need. I've read some of your other threads and it's clear how much you love E and are doing everything you can to do right by her. Those women were truly awful sanctimommies.</p> <p>I hope you get the support you need from your doctor. I've got no experience with PPD but I've battled depression on and off for years. It's exhausting and has a way of sneaking into your life without you realizing. Best of luck you. Thoughts and prayers being sent your way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212544 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 01:17:20 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1212544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First of all EFF that stupid ninny of a woman. She is mean and not worth worrying about. Secondly I am so sorry that you continue to feel so depressed but I am so proud of you for getting some assistance. I also appreciate your sharing it as I think it helps people to feel less ashamed about it of we go through it too. Sending you hugs and hoping you are feeling like your old self very soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212531 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 00:59:17 +0000 SweetMamaM 1212531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, just wow. All the swear words that have been used in this thread aren't enough to call that catty woman what she is!<br /> Good on you for seeking help with your PPD. I hope you have many sunny days with your LO ahead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212495 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 23:41:29 +0000 StbHisMrs 1212495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cherrybee:<br /> You're doing what's best, giving your baby all the love and proper care that you possibly can.<br /> Shame on that woman and shame on the wonan she made the comment to for not speaking up to her. Bullies are terrible and it's too bad they didn't learn earlier in life to knock that shit off. Just shows how dense she is.</p> <p>I'm glad you're taking steps toward getting help, I know how hard that is. I had ppd with my first, but not with my second or third. Hugs to you, friend. You're doing a fabulous job </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212488 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 23:28:31 +0000 ALV91711 1212488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, there are no words for what a horrible person she is.</p> <p>You are amazing and doing such a great job of taking care of your girl. :heart: I'm glad that you will be getting the help you need.</p> <p>Also, very awesome that your hubby made that call and has your back!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212484 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 23:24:59 +0000 Penny Lane 1212484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: douche waffle. I'm dying over here!</p> <p>@cherrybee: I'm sorry :( i think everyone else has given you so much encouragement, I don't know what else to say other than I'm glad you're brave enough to get help :heart: I don't know that I would be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212477 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 23:10:42 +0000 birdofafeather 1212477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm glad you're getting help, but so sorry that a horrible mean B pushed you to the edge like that. i EBF my kid, but i could give a f&amp;%$ how you feed yours and i would have probably started crying for you had i overheard and then i would have either a) calmly pulled her aside and told her that in no way were her words or actions appropriate, especially for a grown woman or b) verbally assaulted her back after making sure my child was out of range.</p> <p>i'm fuming for you! keep fighting for your babe and for you! LO needs a healthy mama more than anything else! xoxo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212457 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:53:32 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1212457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Oh.my.lord. Seriously?? If I *ever* overheard someone saying such things to another mom, they would RUE THE DAY. RUE.THE.DAY. &gt;:|</p> <p>I also wanted to give you huge hugs after reading your mommy group story. I totally felt you, though - that situation has my name written alllllll over it. </p> <p>I can only echo what everyone else has said - you're a terrific mama doing right by her baby. You're beyond amazing and brave and courageous for recognizing that something may not be right and taking the steps to remedy that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212339 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:48:55 +0000 Lindsay05 1212339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wonder if she was breastfed. I know there was a generation way back in nineteen dickety two where the doctors pushed formula onto new moms. For example, DH's grandma formula fed all her children because her doctor told her it was better than breastmilk. So there is a great chance that she was formula fed....douchebucket. </p> <p>Don't feel bad about any of your parenting choices. And I am so happy you are able to recognize and accept your PPD. Hugs &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212317 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:36:55 +0000 OldEnglandMama 1212317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How could she be so heartless?! It's all been said already but what a bitch she is, and what an amazing mama you are! Proud of you for admitting the stiff upper lip can sometimes wobble and seeking the help. Sending you more transatlantic hugs :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212269 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:08:15 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1212269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't stop thinking about this... I can't believe she didn't even react or understand why you were crying...imagine if all us HBers rocked up in the waiting room... She'd be scared!!! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212265 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:05:48 +0000 junebugmama 1212265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a total asshole. She's disgusting. </p> <p>I denied ppd for a long time. I actually felt better once I admitted it (well a little bit after) I'm wishing you all the best </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212253 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:57:17 +0000 Pepper 1212253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's a moron. Period. You know what's best for babies? To be raised by respectful, loving, compassionate people. I feel sorry for her grandchild. </p> <p>I'm happy you're going to start feeling better soon! You're a great mama, and I'm glad you're taking care of yourself and that sweet little baby. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212212 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:36:47 +0000 .twist. 1212212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a fucking bitch. Cunt punt indeed. I'm so so sorry. I actually cried at your reaction to her tutting. I have the mind to fly myself over there and hunt her down. Honestly, do not feel badly about formula. My husbands two oldest boys are 6 and 9 and they were both exclusively formula fed and they are such little joys, and they are soooo smart and sooo healthy. I promise you you're doing right by your daughter.</p> <p>My husband was completely disgusted by that whore. He also said cunt punt was his new favourite phrase... Uh oh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1212181 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:19:10 +0000 photojane 1212181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was wrong. Period. You're a great mama to that sweet girl.

So sorry that happened and I think you are brave to get help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1211824 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:48:35 +0000 Boheme 1211824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First off, if I had heard that cow say that I would've gone all Real Housewives of New Jersey and thrown a piece of furniture at her. </p> <p>Secondly, you are the perfect mother for E. You were picked just for her, and she for you. There is absolutely no shame in getting help for PPD so that you can be the best version of yourself, both for you and for E. I have been there, and it was so hard for me to admit. Happily, the admission was the hardest part. I am rooting for you! Sending you so much love right now! :heart: :heart: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1211822 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:47:46 +0000 Tidybee 1211822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with all the PPs on here. She must be a miserable miserable woman who needed to make someone feel exactly the way she is feeling. I can't believe anyone would think that was appropriate to say. How sweet of your husband to reach out to the office. You've got a good one!!<br /> Hang in there - you are doing a terrific job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1211811 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:45:29 +0000 winniebee 1211811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: what a bitch. You are strong for getting help. Good luck we are rooting for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1211795 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:40:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 1211795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: summed up my thoughts and feelings pretty much perfectly. </p> <p>I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that awful witch. I can't believe that anyone would have the nerve to say anything so nasty to any other women (or anyone, period). You're an amazing Mama, and I hope that 3 pages of comments make it clear that we all think that. </p> <p>I'm glad you are seeking help, but fuck her. What a self-righteous cunt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1211774 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:29:34 +0000 illumina 1211774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad you're reaching out to get help. I'm going to therapy for PPA (though I think really the A has been going on for a lot longer...) which I hope will help. </p> <p>If you want to chat ever, I'm here :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1211740 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 16:15:05 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1211740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so, so sorry lady. I am also dealing with PPD and PPanxiety as well. I really hope the doctor can do something for you- it's amazing how much better you can feel with the right treatment. Feel free to message me if you need a chat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1211701 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:56:16 +0000 mrskc 1211701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a horrible insufferable woman! I can't believe she said that to you. FUCK her! </p> <p>I'm so so sorry you're going through this. Big hugs. I'm glad you are finally recognizing it and on the path to getting help. hugs. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1211700 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:56:08 +0000 deerylou 1211700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Enough with these breast nazis. How dare that woman think that her comment was at all called for, appropriate, or helpful - absolutely ridiculous. </p> <p>As someone else who was unable to breastfeed, I'm about six seconds away from drop kicking my computer or flying to the UK and tracking down that douche waffle. </p> <p>Stay strong, girl. You're a wonderful woman and a fantastic mother. I'm proud of you for reaching out in order to get the help you need and deserve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/3#post-1211699 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:55:55 +0000 pregnantbee 1211699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People have no filter. Sorry you were in that situation. Clearly something is wrong with her, too.</p> <p>You've already done the first step, which is the hardest: admitting you need help. It gets better from here. Hugs. You are amazing, and we are here for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/2#post-1211695 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:54:05 +0000 googly-eyes 1211695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Big big hugs to you. I've been there, and you are not alone. It is the hardest thing in the world, and you are doing GREAT as a mama. You have NOTHING to be sorry about, but I've been there too. If you lived nearby I'd help you out in a heartbeat.</p> <p>That lady should shut her judgmental mouth. Just because something is better nutritionally doesn't make it best for every family... If I bought all organic but I could only buy 1/4 of what we needed for meals would I be doing what was "best"? Or if I bought all organic at the expense of my mental health would that be "best"? Some people just need to learn to see the bigger picture.</p> <p>And she's a bitch and a horrible person for not bothering to even apologize. If I had been there she would have heard a f**king mouthful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-up-who-thinks-i-blatently-have-ppd/page/2#post-1211680 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:50:06 +0000 sunny 1211680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh why do people say such nasty things? </p> <p>Big hugs and I'm glad you're seeking help. &lt;3 </p>
