I'm feeling a bit like a hypocrite tonight mamas... I give so many mamas advice on here about…

Medication is temporary and most generally not just for your sanity but the safety of your little one. You've got to think of everyone around you. Also a well balanced diet, reaching out for support, and getting plenty of rest and exercise are important.

@ilyric, that could be part of it, I don't eat a balanced diet by any means (if I manage to one day I do feel pretty good)... I should talk to my husband but I'm afraid he may get sick of hearing it (that sounds ridiculous I know) I plan on going for walks with my kids once the weather here stays warm for longer than a day.... I'm getting to the point I'm getting more sleep at night due to baby sleeping longer strerches.... thank you so so much for your response ☺

Sometimes you can just see a therapist...try that. Eventually they may recommend something if talk doesn't help but maybe not at first.

@swtlilangl, I may look into going to just talk to someone just talking may help thanks mama ☺

Postpartum isn't something you should try to wait out either, hun. You should really talk to a doctor. If you don't want medication, specify that, come up with an action plan with your doctor. :) I know what untreated postpartum is like and it can ruin a family in the blink of an eye.

@ilyric, I will put in a call to my Dr Monday morning... I hate asking for help, but I honestly think I need it

All Momma's hate asking for help at times. I hate I'm on Bedrest with a 10 mth old son and house hold to take care of, but for the sherry of me and my unborn, I have to let others help.

this is true... I hope you and baby are doing well @ilyric other than being on bed rest and probably going a bit stir crazy

Sounds to me like you just need a old fashion girl chat with a friend or someone whose not one of your precious babies it can be depressing home all day... When I got pregnant j became a sty at home mom at first I was like Yayyy no work but the it quickly got boring and even lonely bc my husbands at work and now I have the baby to occupy my time and he's a blessing but it's totally not the same I'm home all day and even if I leave the house. It's an adventure getting any were with packing the bag and the baby and my boobs leaking if I'm not pumping on time lol ughhhh I feel you ... I hope you start to feel better doll

@babybermea, you are right I could use adult conversation and it is very lonely being here with the kids all day... thank you mama, I'm hoping I get feeling like my old self again soon

I've been feeling the same way and my friends can't relate to me being a. Mom bc there all caught up in there lives so me talking about what my baby did is boring to them lol so it's a fail ...fail situation

exactly I have 1 friend who has kids and I don't really hang out with her much cuz she lives in. different town and like you said it's an adventure to try and leave the house, especially with my 2 kids lol @babybermea

Yes before having my son I was like what's the big deal grab the baby and go now I'm like the bag lady with a huge bag of stuff and extras for oopsies lol

lol I have extras for my extras sometimes lol depending on how long I'm going to be gone lol

I know how you feel. just put up a fight until you learn to accept yourself. I always ask myself what advice will I give someone else if they were in my shoes

@chocolatechild, I did that to myself tonight and it was like "I'm being a hypocrite, telling them to seek help and I won't do it' but I'm gonna seek help, it's not just me I have to think about anymore

I understand. sometimes giving others advice helps you to self reflect. at least you admit to it. praying for u! @sarahdrew

thank you @chocolatechild I appreciate it
