Being told over and over you are depressed can be just as damaging and isolating as actual ppd.
@avianlouiebos I think all the women here genuinely just want you to be safe and happy. you are going to have to figure out what it's going to take for you to have that.

@tyrellp 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have been dealing with this with my son for a few months now where majority of his time is spent screaming and fighting sleep. I knew for a fact that it's not normal, despite being told by two doctors that there was noting wrong with him. I kept persisting with taking him to different people and even took him to the children's emergency department at the hospital. They ended up referring me to the pediatrician at the hospital, who tailored a plan of action specific for us. He hasn't made some miraculous turn around, but slowly he is getting better. You just need to have patience and routine which seems to be something your severely struggling with. I agree with the other ladies that you need to talk to someone asap about the possibility of post partum depression. Getting that looked into and possibly treated, will drastically change the way you cope with him amd make it alot better for both of you. Don't give up on having him looked at until you get an answer either. That is not normal for him to be awake screaming for so long. Keep going til you find answers like I did. Alot of issues need to be addressed here and nothing is going to change until you take the steps toward improving quality of life for you both. You need to take action and not give up til you find a solution for you both. Taking him to a chiropractor is a great first step and they will he able to help refer you to other specialists if needed. Something has to give, you both can't keep on the way you are. It's sad to see you both going through this.

Lots of great advice on this post. I hope you take some of it. Many people are concerned about you but it seems like every suggestion is shot down.

it can be rough sometimes. Just remember it won't be this way forever. If you feel like you are losing it it's totally acceptable to put him in a crib or pack and play and step away for 10 minutes. I do not like when people always jump to ppd but just make sure you are listening to your self too. Put hi down and take a quick shower, bring him in with you if you have too. I know people are against co sleeping but it saved my life with ds3.

@queenmeeks, I really think it’s worth a shot. I’ve actually been considering it for my little guy with special needs.

@beakymcspence the chiropractor is a great suggestion! It has worked wonders for me, and I know plenty of kids it has helped as well.

@beakymcspence, I’ve actually heard this! Great suggestion!

@avianlouiebos it isn’t your parents decision to make, it is the choice of you and your son’s father if he is involved. If you feel you cannot properly care for him, there is a family out there waiting to give him all of the love they have and to care for him. I know that is a hard decision to make, but nearly every post you make is something negative about your life or motherhood, and it’s sad to see. You HAVE to take care of yourself or this is just going to be what it is. Your mental health is wealth, and you need to be seen for PPD/PPA and possibly some PTSD. No mother should struggle like this continually and it’s infuriating when it seems like you just don’t listen to us.

@fakoffyeh, I just really know it worked for my friends daughter, and it’s worth a shot.

If you want something to change, you need to take action. You need to see someone for your mental health. You as a mama and as a person would greatly benefit from it.
Baby needs to be seen by a doctor. It’s not normal for a 6m old to be awake for 12+ hours. If his current pediatrician doesn’t seem concerned, I’d get a second opinion asap.

@avianlouiebos, I know it sounds cheese ball hun and maybe silly but have you tried a chiropractor? I have a friend in Edmonton who was really struggling with their daughter and weekly visits to the chiro really made some improvements to her constant fuss? Or maybe having him around kids his age for a play date?

@avianlouiebos, but you don’t live with your parents, right? So if they adopt him how are you responsible for caring for him? Why isn’t he in daycare?

@fakoffyeh I cant get my parents on board either and I dont feel comfortable going over their heads cuz they think its wrong too to give up a kid. And they said if I did they would rather adopt him bit then nothing would change cuz parents would still be working and id still have to carw for him everyday

I don’t know your story or anything, so I went back and looked a a few of your posts. It seems like the majority of them are negative. A lot of complaints about your baby. Have you spoken to a Dr about ppd?

I definitely know how hard it is dealing with cranky babies and not getting in sleep. Most of us actually have been there. I have no doubt that you’re trying and doing the best you can, but something has to give. If there is no ailment in the baby’s side of things, it’s very possible that he’s picking up the resentment that you’re feeling. And some days are just so hard that it’s impossible to see a brighter side to things, but for it to be every day is just not normal. Your suffering is causing him to suffer, which is making things harder on you.
