Anxiety & PPD: Can both affect motivation and relationships. The good news, is that there are great treatments available. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms (any other accompany Lo motivation?). S/he may review tx options including talk therapy, behavior therapy, medication (like an SSRI) amongst others. Meeting with ur therapist & your bf/gf may also help! Don't let ur symptoms go ignored. Treatment needed

It will pass: Hi dear, Postpartum depression (PPD), also called postnatal depression, is a type of clinical depression which can affect women after childbirth. Symptoms include sadness, fatigue, changes in sleeping and eating patterns, reduced desire for sex, crying episodes, anxiety, and irritability. This is temporary and treatable with professional help.
