I've been diagnosed with PPD. Before baby I've been battling bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and bipolar depression. Some days are ok. Some days are great. And some days I spend the entire day in the living room staring into space. Only functioning when my baby needs me to and then becoming painfully catatonic when she doesn't. I adore being a mom. But its also killing me. I'm on meds, tried therapy. There's got to be something else, ANYTHING ELSE, I can do to not feel like a random piece of shit almost everyday. If anyone has ANY ideas or suggestions, no mattet how bizarre, throw them out there. I need to be better for my baby. I can't handle this much longer.
I'm sure this has been suggested, but exercising and a mommy and me group. For some people it's getting out of the house that helps, maybe switching the meds you are on as well, keep a journal and just be as honest as you can when you go to therapy with your journal.
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...
Baby clothes
Where has everyone been buying baby clothes? I think the majority of his clothes I've bought have been from Carter's but I'm thinking I want him to have some more original stuff too that everyone else won't have lol. I need more ideas. I've started looking at Old Navy and H&M. I need to find more cute zip up sleepers too! I honestly didn't like too many that Carter's had.
C section in the am ... I will be in the hospital for 4 days... will they provide me with onesies or should I bring some?? I'm packing them anyway.... what else do I need to bring? I've never done this before... and no one say snacks please
I've realized in the last few days I've been blocked by Mommies who were once following me ☹️ I wonder how I've offended them? 🤔😘😂
I'm so sorry! Do you have anyone that you can lean on so you can take a break?
