PostPartum Depression.
signs?
I honestly get NO help from fiancé, mother-in-law or mother. I have 2 girls. ones a toddler and a newborn. I can't do it all, you know. I go crazy sometimes. like, psycho. I've thought about hurting myself because it's too much to handle at times. when I do ask for help from him, I get: "be a mom. grow up and stop being childish." I'm up with both girls in the middle of the night while he rests & sleeps in (he doesn't work at the moment). I'm just done. I had another meltdown a few minutes ago and am frustrated. the more I ask the less responses I get.
I let mine set his own schedule. but I would stop asking for help. I mean yes I know it's hard because it's hard with just 1 and you have 2. but the babies see who does what and I can promise you they appreciate it.
I deal with depression and I havnt had thoughts recently about harming myself but before I got pregnant I did . I thought they would magically go away n they didn't I finally broke down n got on meds . I hope the best for you and if you want my number or anything let me know . I'm not doing anything cept cooking my baby in my tummy so I'm free . try to stay positive . go for walks or something with the babies.
@prestonsmommy, I hope so. I didn't have any issues with my first one. smh. yes, my oldest one is and I think getting my second one on her same schedule is hard.
@leepi really am talking to someone because I don't think having these self harm thoughts are good. I would never do anything to the girls but I think about hurting myself. thank you. I just feel like this is such a great little community and I always get the best advice.
It's rough. I have 1 baby and he's a mommy's boy. literally glued to my hip 24/7. I can't get out of bed without him waking up in the middle of the night or even go 2 feet from him because he screams. I quit asking for help all together because I got the same thing. and now they want to get made when my little boy wants nothing to do with them. it does get easier. are your babies on a schedule of any kind?
@prestonsmommy, that's true. I'll just have to wait and hope for the best.
