I've gone through post adoption depression. I never anticipated feeling that way. After all the years of trying to have a baby through natural means, IUI's, IVF's and adoption, how could I possibly be depressed after it finally happened? How could I be down when I just got what I had always dreamed of, a beautiful and healthy daughter? Talk about guilt setting in. I was tired and not getting any sleep. I was depressed to no end. I cried. I was miserable. I finally got help. I was put on some medication and am now doing much, much, much better.
I love my adoption agency but I wish they would have informed me (us) about the real possibility of ending up with PADS. It wouldn't have changed my decision about adopting- no way! It would have helped me to be better prepared though.
Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about this more. I'm sorry you are going through this. It does get better. Hang in there.
