I don’t sleep, I hardly eat, I’m always alone cried for an hour for the first time since before…

Yes, could be. Ask your doctor for a family therapist if you need support. And if youre low income and want a home nurse contact nurse family partnership

Thank you. I just honestly want my husband home more, he works over time everyday and works Saturdays, it’s all for a good reason I’m just so sad and starting to freak out a little... 😞😞😞

Same. But mine just chooses to do other things than be home:/

I am seeing my dr on the 5th. I realized though I don’t think I’m depressed, just don’t have a great partner, I still need help. I want to be the best mom I can for my boys. I’ll be praying for you too girl

Did he take his bonding already? He may be able to claim it.

I kept trying to reply to this post last night when I saw it but for some reason something kept going wrong, anyway I was just going to say you’re not alone lady, be strong because to me I learned that PPD is a lot of in your head kind of mental gaming… I literally talk to myself every single day

For a better part of my day coaching myself through it and reminding myself that it will be OK, it might be hard right in this moment but it will be OK… Of course you can go to the doctors and talk and they’ll want to prescribe you medicine but you could always try to take it upon yourself to try and pay more attention to yourself and your needs in order to make yourself feel quite a bit better. I’ve given my advice to a lot of women that struggle with it like myself but I know only some can do it my way because things work differently for all of us, if you pay close attention to yourself when your feeling such low points such as your post reflect on what it is for you that is making your feel that way suddenly, we all have triggers when it comes to this and learning what they are will help you through then a lot. I will immediately be at my lowest point whenever I’m immediately overwhelmed or plans changing last minute, or even just too much going on at the same time, like sometimes just sitting at the dinner table with my boys I’ll be silent because in my head I’m just tripped out BUT I’m holding myself together 🤷🏼‍♀️ when those triggers happen my anxiety will sky rocket 🚀 I get nervous and shaky & will start to blank.. I’ll begin to think of all the bad things instead of anything else and until I’m alone for a while in a cool dark place will I start to feel any better. Once I get over the hump I feel exhausted but still have to continue the days 😔 I bet you didn’t know I’ve been suffering from PPD for 6yrs.. oh and I might add when my man was diagnosed after having the baby I felt as low as I could get and caved and talked with a doctor finally, which was a good thing but like I thought they wanted to prescribe me pills, I did try them for a couple weeks but rob and I started to notice I’m just not myself anymore so I went right back to dealing myself.

Alone time is so hard to come by when You first have a baby 😊 and really it’s all worth it but it can be extremely hard to get a moment or two alone, I would say take what you can. If the weathers nice even put him in the stroller or carrier just so u can “roll out” lol do whatever it is so u can get some space, at least with baby asleep you can have the quietness.. I walked the neighborhood when I had bernie and that was pretty much my only alone time since we have robs dad here we never have the house to ourselves. Trust me when I say there’s a lot more women who are going through the same thing it’s just not talked about much on here, I used to be in a real nice group but it was some time ago and it went pretty inactive after so long like the others do. Women like myself or for whatever the reason just don’t talk about it much it seems, I don’t because it’s just depressing BUT it feels good to talk to you about it, you’ll be amazed how great it feels to talk to someone who just understands what you think is crazy. Well I will be thinking of you today, sorry this is so long man I could keep typing lol I may copy and paste it know a post just to let others know they are not alone as well because I see it often enough and ladies seem to not know where to turn, I won’t have time to be everyone’s person to talk to of course so I’ll cut this off the post and tell u now that if you EVER want/ need anyone to talk to, I’m here. Inbox is always open and it comes through like a text because the notifications are on so please if you need someone and don’t have anyone else (I’m sure u have closer friends in here.. I’m only 45mins from you as well) I am here too.

I hope you have a decent day!!

❤️❤️
