Hello ladies.. Question for you.

J&NL

I'm new to the board so I apologize if this has been asked numerous times. Today I'm having one of those days where I feel like I'm in a dark hole, everything hurts and I can't get myself out of bed and if I do get out of bed it's not for long. I feel as if I've been carrying a lot of stress lately and it has finally taken a toll on my mind and body. I have also recently stopped BF my 6 month old son plus dealing with little sleep compared to the norm.

My question is, at what point did you realize you needed help? I often find it difficult to conceal my "moods" but I try for the sake of keeping a happy marriage and just so I'm not such a debby downer all the time but then I have days like today and it's just really hard. My husband is a generally happy guy and he just doesn't understand. I've had issues with depression in the past, however the Zoloft I was taking made me feel robotic so I weaned myself off.

I'm beginning to feel as if I might need to find a new medication or something to help me. I feel like my moods are affecting the people around me negatively and it only makes it worse.

Wow. Sorry this was so drawn out. Thanks for listening.

It wasn't drawn out at all.

I think you should just seek help. 6 mths is a long time to struggle without any help. The sooner you seek help the better us what I have read and heard so I really would try to do what you can. You haven't talked to anyone?

I hear that a lot of people try a few meds before they find a good one that works for them.

I know it's really hard to deal with this. It really has been a struggle for me, too.
