I had PPD after both of my pregnancies. The first one, I had no idea what was happening and so it progressed until I was suicidal and homicidal. The second time, I knew what was happening to me so I got on medication and used techniques I had learned over the intervening years despite the fact that the PPD the second time was exponentially worse than the first. I just handled it better knowing what it was. It is the #2 reason, after finances, that we decided not to have any more kids. Thank you for sharing that experience.
