For the last few weeks, the stupidest
things make me cry.
I even cry for no reason sometimes. A lot
actually.
Uncontrollably.
I find myself getting so angry that I
scream.
The other day I almost walked out of the
house because I was so damn frustrated. I
get so angry so easily its starting to
come between .Rob and i. We fight about
the stupidest crap, then it turns into a
full-blown argument with me threatening
divorce.
I get frustrated super easy with .Jacob.
I constantly feel like i'm about to have a
nervous breakdown. I find myself throwing
things in anger and frustration.
Thankfully no one has been in the way.
I just now stopped crying again for no
reason.
I hate this.
I feel like its making me a bad mom.
Like I cant do my job the way i'm supposed
to.
Like i'm not all the way there for my
kids.
I feel..
Incompetent.
*sigh*

Wow - you just described everything I felt
not that long ago. I went to my doctor
and was diagnosed with .Post .Natal
(partum) .Depression. Have you seen your
doctor? It sounds like you might be
suffering the same. I really
sympathise because it feels absolutely
bloody awful, like a black hole from which
there is no escape.

Yeah I called my doctors office to
schedule my follow-up a couple weeks ago,
but the soonest they can get me in is
.January 12th.
Here we go again.
It seems everytime my kids cry I do too.

Talk to you Dr. Girl.
This is nothing to be ashamed of! I had
too much pride and didn't talk to my Dr.
And I literally went nuts!
By the time I had talked to my Dr. I was
bad off...
You're not a bad mommy!! You're a busy
mommy!! And the raging hormones + .Jacob
+ .Caty can make any *sane* woman
crazy!!
You can pm me any time girl!

No that's just not good enough - can you
ring them again and stress the urgency of
this appointment? Get your hubby to ring
too or something. This needs sorting out
because you can slide so quickly with
depression

Tell them it is an emergency. Surely they can
squeeze you in earlier than a month.
That's beyond ridiculous. Ppd isn't
something you just sit on for a month, you
know?

Mention the ppd and they will get you in
asap.
Ppd is not a joke and if they don't
understand the intensity of your
situation, they need new jobs!

Seriously, explain to them that it is an
emergency. That's something that needs
to be taken care of and is very treatable.
You don't want it to get worse...

Oh sweetie of course your stressed,
besides taking care of yourself you have
your new baby your son and your husband,
you are doing the work load 4 times the
normal person. Of course you might feel
sad and frustrasted, especially
overwhelmed. Maybe you should call your
drs back and say that you need to at least
speak with a nurse, because I dont think
january 12th can cut it, you need to speak
with someone sooner about how you are
feeling. Everything will get better, ppd
can be hard I have heard it can take up to
three years to come out too.. Just
remember things always get better. Luv
you

Well the nurse just called back..
She wants me to go up to the hospital
like, immediately.
She said that its nothing to mess with and
since i've almost had a couple nervous
breakdowns that I need to be seen asap to
be put on something to control it. She
made me promise i'd go, so as soon as .Rob
gets home im off.
I told her I never knew it was something
to be so serious about.. That I thought
it would go away as my hormone levels died
down. And she said no, that its a serious
illness and that I need
anti-depressants.
Which scares me.
Ive never thought i'd be on
anti-depressants.
So im off... If anyone wants to call, pm
.Krissy for my cell.
Thanks for the hugs guys. I love you
all.
**starts crying again**
i hate this.

I believe they take it so seriously
because if it goes untreated it can turn
into post partum psychosis.

I am so sorry that this is happening to
you! You seem like such a nice person!
I don't understand why the dr will not
write you a prescription and maybe give
you someone to talk to. I do realize
that ppd can happen to anyone that has
given birth. You have been sick so much
I wonder if that could have something to
do with it like maybe you might be anemic
or could be missing something you need in
your system. I really hope that they can
help you out! I am here for you 100%!
Keep us posted when you can because I
understand that you do have your hands
full! I bet you are a great .Mommy and
wife, I learned long ago noone is perfect!
