I'm not feeling supported through my lows! Really starting to despise my baby's father. That asshole told me to "suck it up" when I, while sobbing, asked him for a hand to get out of this valley I'm in. God bless the one friend that I have who just had a beautiful baby girl and who also struggled with depression through her pregnancy. She not only pointed me to this app, but she also gave me the encouragement that I needed.
I swear, I just need him to understand that in those times where I find it hard to gather my own strength, an external vote of confidence makes all the difference.
Tough titties, I guess.
@opaquetitan1, this app has already been a blessing. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I didn't know how much of a difference it would make being a swipe or a tap away from a community of moms, but it has helped immensely.
The support is amazing.
And next time he gives me shit, I'll remember to practice my left hook👊🏾🤣
@joan32393, I've had my bouts of depression before I even got pregnant but these crazy ass hormones made me dip so low, so quickly. It was scary. Thank God I learned beforehand that the most important thing is having a support system and (at the very least) good coping techniques.
I'm climbing, girl😩. The hill just seems super steep...muddy.
I literally would have lost my shit on him and told him if he could "suck it up" after being pregnant for 9mnths, pushing a baby out of his body, and now have to deal with extra hormones, taking care of a baby and having an unsupportive spouse. I'm sorry you are having a hard time. We all go through these feelings. I deal with it a lot. You'll find a good support system on here which is what you need. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. And if he gives you crap for having a cry...deck him lol
I was kind of depressed too. I felt restrained. I spent a lot of time on this app and in bed. No one knew because I'm home alone a lot. Just think of it as a hill to climb.
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!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
@mommakarmaa good :)
