Postpartum Depression?

[le_queer]

So, it seems like Harry might be dealing with Postpartum Depression.
He's down and just seems to feel crappy.

I looked it up a bit to see what exactly to look for as I'm not exactly sure what to expect and I don't want to end up doing something that'll set him off in a bad way.

Postpartum depression is more debilitating than the "blues." Women

Sounds like PPD, Perry. My niece had it after she gave birth to her son a year ago. The birth of this child came a little over a year after she had given birth to her first child who was five months premature.

Her early labor was very stressful, and when her first son was born, he was in pretty bad shape. The baby died, and she was very depressed for three months. She had a good support system to help her cope with the early labor and the child's passing, and she went into therapy, which also helped.

Harry may need help to get over the stress of the early delivery and deal with the events which caused it to happen.

Glad that Grace is thriving and doing well so far. Take care of Harry and yourself, Perry. All of you are in my thoughts.

I might have to take him to someone who can tell me more and help, if it gets worse. I really hope it doesn't. I don't know how much I'll be able to take seeing him like this...

I understand. I'm keeping all of you in my prayers. If there's anything I can do to help... I'll do my best to help in any way I can.

I'm not going to therapy if that's what you're thinking... I fucking refuse...

Harry, I never said Therapy.
I just want to make sure you're going to be okay, I don't want to see anything happen to you...
