Not being able to take care of myself makes me feel depressed. I feel like I’m sleep deprived with having to wake up from my sleep and pump every time my boobs get really sore. Not taking showers most everyday because I have more important things to do. Not eating enough and being just as hungry as I was while pregnant. It’s draining.. could this be postpartum depression..?

@spookylyn, My son is in the NICU and that alone brings be depression. I’m diagnosed with severe depression and depressive bipolar disorder. By other things I mean like doing laundry or making food for my S/O / baby’s daddy or doing things for him, other than that and being home, I’m at the NICU with my son. I try to be as calm and happy as I can there but when I go home, it’s like a weird part of me is missing.. maybe it’s just me wanting him home..? When I’m doing these other things I just feel exhausted and drained..
@spookylyn, I’m not on any meds but I have been in the past and it’s just not something that I think really works with me. And I really don’t want to become dependent on meds to make me feel better, I rather try to be myself because I definitely don’t know who my true self is while taking meds.
I’ll try that, that sounds good.
And yeah, I’m sure I’ll feel better too, maybe more like a mother to him too because honestly right now I don’t at times. Because I’m not the one being able to fully take care of him it just doesn’t feel like I’m a mother yet. But I’ll be more than happy for the day he gets to come home.
Thank you, I appreciate it ❤️
