After having my first child, I was overwhelmed with feelings of hopelessness, incompetence, and despair. I remember just sitting at home, crying, feeling so terribly alone. I didn’t know what was wrong with me, and why I didn’t bounce back like my friends had, who also had kids. I sought help from both a counselor and a psychiatrist, but no one mentioned the diagnosis “postpartum depression,” and the meds they put me on just made my symptoms worse. I got to the point that I was crippled by my panic attacks and wasn’t sleeping at al. It wasn’t until I found healthPiper that things turned around. The convenient, online format really appealed to me, since I was breastfeeding on demand and had difficulty leaving my infant. I found it to be much cheaper than the psychiatrist that I was currently seeing, not to mention the counselor. And, the care I received was unmatched. I was finally diagnosed correctly with postpartum depression, and was prescribed medications that really helped me. I started sleeping again, and my panic attacks and the severe depression went away. I felt like I could be happy again. It made all the difference in the world to me. I would highly recommend healthPiper for the quality and convenience of care. It made such a huge difference in my life. I have just had my second child, and am absolutely astonished at how different my postpartum experience was with her than with my first. Thanks to healthPiper, I am enjoying these first few months with her without being crippled by panic attacks, debilitating despair, or sleepless nights.
