Feeling down

ambmama

So I know I've posted similar before, but I'm really still feeling blah! My baby's amazing, my hubby's pretty great, and my job is wonderful, yet I feel down in the dumps. I actually gave up BFing to go on antidepressants because my dr recommended it, but I swear I feel worse and now guilty bc DS has a cold. Anything anyone does to lift their mood?

I can't know exactly what you're feeling or going through, but I hope you start feeling better soon. I don't know if you've tried this, but what I do is swing dancing, or just going out once a week with a friend to just get away. Massage maybe or some sort of spa treatment you might enjoy? Read when I have time, or find something to do that's fun and doesn't require much thinking, like playing a puzzle/search game, or just color or make something for LO.

I know how you feel. I think I need to get out more and have some alone time.

No brilliant advice, just sending good vibes your way.  Hope you feel like your old self soon.

I feel "down", too. Just icky. I think I should take a class or something. I've been feeling lately like I would actually enjoy math now...because I'm a nerd like that. I'm going to join the local YMCA soon when they have their join-free event.

Yeah not sure how to fix it, I thu k more human interaction would help. There's only so much baby talk a
Person can handle!

You shouldn't feel guilty for not breastfeeding and taking care of yourself. You need to feel well in order to be able to take care of your baby. 
Im sorry your having a rough time.  Have you considered what BC you are on? I had really bad PMDD symptoms after having this baby and have felt much better once I got the Mirena. Maybe something you can talk to your Doc about.
Meanwhile....as PPs said, deffinetely try and do something for yourself. It can be so natural to get caught up on baby and family stuff that we forget to have a lil fun and smile sometimes. A girls night out is just what i need sometimes   GL!
