So, any SAHMs on here? I would like to know how you made it thru PP depression? I have made lots of progress, but I…

@gabriellenicole092, welcome 😊

@gabriellenicole092 your welcome! Hope it works as well for you as it did for me!

@mct, my my my, you were a big help. I will began looking into it. Thank you!

@derricksmama, Thank you for your response. I’m glad I am not the only one!

@gabriellenicole092 the Ymca! You also get a free membership when you work there!

@mct, Wow, I felt that. I totally understand what you mean. Maybe I would try to work as well. Where did you find your job that would offer such a flexible schedule?

I started walking every day at the mall since it was winter. I had a set schedule that we stuck to. Finally, at 10 months I went to work for an hour a day at a place that offered free childcare while I taught swimming lessons. That was the real turn around. Being able to have an hour where I didn't have all the stress on my shoulders made all the difference in the world. I found myself again!

It isn’t easy but what has helped me is being occupied taking my son out to the park the mall anywhere for a few hours staying at home kills especially for so many hours so try doing something like that. Also my therapist helped a lot

I got a therapist for one it got me out of my home and it was super helpful

No problem!

No, I haven’t i probably should consider, thanks for your suggestion.

@gabriellenicole092 have you talked to a doctor? I was put on Lexapro to help, and after a couple off months I was able to get off it. Just needed help going through that phase

@myblessings, I agree, although I don’t think my husband has ears anymore I’m pretty sure I’ve talked them off lol like i said I’ve made progress but since the winter is here and hitting fast I think I am starting to feel trapped again if that makes since. Well for many sahms you guys are not as lonely as me... i literally have no one to call or call me and check in so it sucks

What helped me alot with my pp depression was communication. It was hard for me to express my feelings to hubby because I didn't want too bring him down all the time, but talking to him helped alot. Be open and don't try to shut everyone out
