Help Kate Overcome Severe Postpartum Depression

Hello, my name is Kate. As many of you know, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on 01/07/2025. About a month after I had her, I got SEVERE postpartum depression. I am now at a dead end, and I need serious help. I have reached out for resources; I have a psychiatrist and a therapist, but I can't seem to shake this at all. I will be completely isolated at home alone, and right now that is not what's best for me.

I am reaching out and asking for help because there are treatment facilities outside of Florida specifically for women with postpartum depression, and I just don't have the means to send myself. I have always been big on mental health, and right now, unfortunately, I need saving. My kids are safe, but I have to give them back their fun and happy mom. I know how this may look, but I have to be vulnerable to get the help I need so I can be the mother I need to be again. I'm asking for help so I can have the means to get to a facility that can help me and so I can maintain bills while I am unable to work so I don't lose my house or anything in the midst of getting help.

A little back story on the situation: I admitted myself to an inpatient facility, but it wasn’t designed to help women like me; they didn't know how to help. My fiancé left me with a lot of stressors like a broken car and overdue bills that honestly, at the moment, haven't been my top priority. Right now, I have been trying to get the help I need because the PPD and PPA are so debilitating. I am not crazy; I am just suffering from a hormonal imbalance that is causing SEVERE PPD. And I'm losing hope in the system. I have spent hours on the phone trying to get help, but the system is so messed up, and they truly don't know how to help women like me. I have a very limited support system. I am in the trenches so bad I haven’t been staying at my own house; I've been sleeping on a pallet on the floor in my best friend's room. That's how much I don't want to be isolated and alone. I am desperate for help; my kids need their mother. I'm just asking for help so I can get the proper help that I need.
