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..
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...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

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...
@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 ❤️
