Also, I have PPD and you should probably seek help. They usually like to perscribe meds and Zoloft works well for most women. With no ill effect on the child for BF moms. I took it when I was BF my daughter and it helped a great deal. This time around (kinda scary, huh?) I am taking Paxil and it actually has increased my milk supply. That is one of its little known side effects.
I hope you feel better soon. Cry as much as you need to it helps, too! I wish I could cry sometimes.

oh gosh I don't need to increase my milk supply. I generally get 30 oz out of just 3 pumpings in a day. I have half a chest freezer that now ONLY has breastmilk. That is one of the few things that is going well.

yeah I feel like a real moo cow.

I saw an episode of CSI where some rich guy had a fetish thing about being a baby. He had his own adult size nursery and paid a woman to breastfeed him and give him bottles. He had a gallon of breastmilk in his stomach and a fridge full of 8 oz bottles of breastmilk. At the time I thought "who in teh world could pump that much milk?!" well a gallon is 64 oz and if I am getting 30 or so from 3 pumpings (realizing that quantity goes down as the day goes on) then there is the possibility I could pump that much in a day if I worked at it. That is just scary.

I keep kidding that Ian will be on brestmilk until he is 2 even if I ween him at 1
