cynthia77 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi everybody. I've posted on here before and you've all been a great help. Unfortunately I'm posting about the same situation. Here's the short version: my boyfriend had an emotional affair with his ex (he would leave work to see her so that I wouldn't find out). I found out about it while I was a few months pregnant. My son is now 4 months old and not one day has gone by that I haven't thought about it. I used to cry on average once a week because of it ... I now cry a few times a day. I just can't seem to let go of the hurt. I'm beginning to think that it might be Postpartum Depression. But how do I know if it's Postpartum Depression or if I truly can't get over the hurt and have to end my relationship? I'm so torn. I don't want to end it but sometimes it feels like that's the only solution. I'm going to see my doctor on Friday ... but I've been told that it could take as long as 6 weeks for depression medication to take effect - I can't wait that long. Please help me. How do I know if I'm depressed and in need of medication or if I have to get rid of my boyfriend? Link to post Share on other sites
