So I have a almost 10 month old and I am 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant now and I had really bad postpartum depression when I had her and now I'm really moody and everything makes me sad and mad at the same time I'm a stay at home home so I don't get out much ! Is there anything I can do to make myself feel better about myself and the things around me ? Cause some days I'm happy as can be and others I'm just down and moody ! And I hate that I don't have anyone to talk to when I'm home alone with my daughter is there anything that help any of y'all that went through this?
@morrisontrinity247 I stay active and a lot of times I don't want to but once I do I feel a little better. I don't have a car so I walk everywhere I can turn a 30min walk into a hour by slowing my pace. I also go to counseling once a week, twice if I need to. That helps a whole lot. I hope you find something that works for you. Hang in there. 😊😘
@morrisontrinity247, it might not be of much help to you but I've learned some of my best tricks that help me battle my depression is writing down on a piece of paper exactly how I feel, or meditation (I download an app that talks me through it cause I honestly didn't even want to try it until my depression got so bad) or watching my favorite movie while gaining 50 pounds in junk food 😂 or a nice warm shower with loud music or a walk outside while it's pretty or sometimes just being lazy and acknowledging that it's there but knowing that it won't stay forever and that I can overcome it on a new day. It's super hard I know. I've had depression for YEARS but it seriously got ridiculous after I had my baby girl and I still have some really bad days where nothing seems to be helping me. Sometimes you just gotta find what works for you! 😊
Thank you I'm trying my best it's just hard being a stay at home mom and being alone all day and then me being pregnant again
