Postpartum Depression



Here are a few of the symptoms the Mayo Clinic lists as signs of postpartum depression:
  • Overwhelming fatigue
  • Withdrawal from family and friends
  • Lack of joy in life
And yes...Coach is definitely experiencing postpartum depression.  

Usually she goes out in the mornings for a walk around 6am when I'm working.  These days she mopes around until 10:30 or 11am and then rings her bell to go outside.  Then she spends the rest of the day sleeping on her bed, or in the hallway with her head on her paws.  

It is pitiful.  I am sad for her.  But there will be no meds for the dog.
