      @ALCsMom it sounds like you may need to find somewhere else to go for help if you can't get through for another appointment. I'm sorry you're going through this, trust me I understand completely. It's nice to have people to relate to though, makes me feel a little less alone.

      I'm also 3 months post partum. I'm extremely depressed and just feel utterly hopeless from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. I just want to cry and feel dread knowing I have to do it all again every single day. I don't have any sex drive either, I've read that's normal though. I'm seeing my doctor today for the postpartum depression, have you reached out to your doctor yet? I'm hoping meds will help.

        @Saraboo19 yeah I reached out to a midwife that specializes in ppd and had 1 appointment and I can't get through to anyone to set up another appointment. I feel like the system, my husband, and myself are failing me

      I'm 8 months postpartum and have zero sex drive, huge anxiety and depression, and many health issues. Sex is the last thing on my mind. My partner has been understanding for the most part, but I can tell it has created some distance between us. I just wish I could feel like myself again. 😏

        @Hass5 I wish I could feel like myself again too but I don't even know what that would feel like

      I wish I had advice but you deserve a supportive partner ❤️ you're not the bad guy for being uninterested in sex after literally birthing a child
