PND or just normal depression?

What you may find is that the viruses etc can tend to get you down and put you into a spin very similar to the state you are in after having baby - ie tired, sore, not feeling like doing much - all of which can trigger off the same old feelings of PND and depression - it kind of all mixes into one. Chances are your doc would know this sort of thing happens. Here's hoping it was a bump in the road and once summer comes and you're back to feeling like yourself then things will iron out.

I still find that when i've been sick (such as i have lately) all the old things come back, the grumpyness, the crying, the anxiousness, the insomnia.. all goes hand in hand - it's usually a sign these days that i need to back off and take care of myself cos those days i had PND when Paris was little were just horrible and scary and i don't want to back there.
