Postpartum depression is a very serious ailment that can often be dangerous to you of those around you if left untreated. I know ive been there.
First go and see a doctor and talk to him, he will be able to help you. Secondly as a first time mother you need to learn to take your time. Take it one day at a time. You are learning to be the person that you will become and that isnt easy.
Dont talk about it to people who will only put the blame back on you, its not healthy.
Get as much sleep as you can. When your son sleeps you sleep. Being a parent means learning to deal with mess. Eat regular meals sleep regular hours or atleast 8 hours a day and eat healthy. Thats a good start.
Depression doesnt go away on its own and its often caused by a chemical imbalance. Please go and see a doctor and good luck!
Don't you wish you could start over being pregnant for the first time?
