I'm so sick of having post pardon depression I hate randomly breaking down and crying my pills aren't working and no dr will see me I have to wait two or more weeks for a new patient request to be approved i have no one to talk to my husband tries to understand but doesn't get it I feel like a failure as a mom I just want to give up... I got lectured yesterday because neither of my kids are getting Easter because we couldn't afford it nothing ever seems to go my way anymore
I so understand how you're feeling. The postpartum depression/anxiety has now made it impossible for me to even leave my house without severe panic attacks occurring first. I missed so much work & my husband is great with our son but I swear he just doesn't get PPD. He must ask me 50 times a day "what's wrong" like my emotional state has changed. To top it off I just had to change my antidepressants so I'm right back at the beginning until the new Med gets in my system. Don't worry about an Easter basket... easter isn't even about a silly bunny anyways!! If you're like me you're barely able to deal with daily life much less some commercial holiday that simply is another reason for people to go waste money. Spend the day having quality family time and tell the naysayers that last u read Jesus hadn't left a basket full of colored eggs behind when they rolled the rock away from his tomb...lol
Easter isn't about toys or eggs hide some of the toys for your kids and help them find the toys kids like that kind of playing time
@gherianeulysse, I don't have a pump and my milk is dried up
Hey your not alone I'm a mom of three boys and pregnant they get to enjoy some egg hunting but I'm not doing Easter baskets and my sister in law and brother in law came over talking to the boys about the Easter bunny and what he's bringing and I'm not giving them gifts from the bunny this year. They don't care they don't really even care about the bunny they are just happy to be seeing their grandparents as that's all they get to see. Just remember this day only lasts for a minute and then they have an entire year to even care again. Smiles and hugs momma.
@beebaby, thanks it just sucks that my husbands whole family thinks I'm a terrible parent and it's hard knowing they want his to divorce me I just want to crawl in a hole and never come out
@gherianeulysse, I can't breast feed because I have to be on blood thinners
Please don't stress yourself out about them getting Easter stuff. I hate the materialistic pressures we're in for every holiday now. What's important is that they are fed, have a roof over their heads and know and feel they are loved. Anyone else who misses that point can kick rocks with their teeth.
Try breastfeeding for the post partum depression
Your a great mother, your kids dont need Easter stuff because they have no clue what it even. They don't know they are missing anything. If your kids are fed and taken care of then your doing your job
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
I am in the same boat with my husbands family not liking me too, thinking I'm not good enough to parent his 3 kids that aren't even mine...when I'm the one who stepped up and stepped in when their mom left...if u need to talk message me ❤️
