Anyone else???

So I've been looking into placenta encapsules and I'm ready to try it out... I'm on baby 4 and I know I do have depression and it flares up after baby so I wanna test it out... I know that sometimes it can have the opposite effect which I'm hoping that's not the case for me... Has anyone tried it and what was your experience???

@AMDG Ive had depression for over 11 years now... I'm 27 now, I'm a pretty healthy eater it does sound like something to look into but I know a lot of it is just me being the emotional person I am and lack of this from my past... Thanks tho for your opinion and I do hope it works out for the both of us...

I haven't tried it but I'm going to do it! Obviously I have no idea what your personal struggles are, but have you looked into diet change as a possible help for your depression? I read a lot of paleo/gluten free blogs and there seems to be a lot of evidence coming out that even some emotional problems can be helped especially by dropping gluten. Anyway, just think that's really interesting. Hope the placenta encapsulation weekend out for us both!

@ TA283... I don't take meds for mine only because I've come to realize that modern medicine is not my friend... I just deal with it day by day... I've learned to stop questioning god and have put my faith completely in him... I've noticed that I've had less breakdown days doing so... And as far as being cuddly, I'm not really that type of person... I do have my moments though, I use sex as an outlet...

I don't have any experience to impart on the placenta issue, however I do have a question, as you're citing depression (and I'll take the liberty of assuming possible anxiety) as a personal struggle of yours.
Are you the cuddly type? I can't keep a hold of any medicine to treat my depression/anxiety and I am super cuddly as a result and get my comforts from the oxytocin.
If you do get the placenta thing done, I hope you'll come back and let us know how it goes for you.
