Pretty good here, I have weaned off my medicine (third day of no meds). I have been extremely irritable and the weaning side effects have kinda sucked...brain zaps, super tired, irritable, light headed. I think it was time but scared it wasn't time. But I guess I will go back on if my anxiety returns. Also I had gained about ten lbs going on it. I have been dieting and exercising and keep gaining so wondering if the meds have been contributing. We shall see (weight gain not why I weaned, just adding the point for discussion). Hope all of you are doing well.

I feel like I've been regressing. I'm not sure why or what's going on, but I hear that it's normal.
I realized that although I'm doing better than I was and I'm progressing I'm still not okay. I'm not hating my life everyday like in the beginning, but I'm still not happy. It's really hard to accept.
I really have trouble being alone. If I'm with people than I'm fine and things don't bother me, but alone I'm a different person.
I really wonder what the PPD and what's me. What if I'm just not happy and shouldn't have become a Mom?! Is it the PPD or is it the real me? Just a rhetorical question. I know no one can answer this for me.

Things haven't been going great lately. DH can't find a job and our financial issues are getting worse. I don't even expect anything good to happen anymore. I try to focus on the positives but lately that doesn't seem to be enough. I know I should see a therapist but insurance won't cover all of it and we have so many outstanding medical bills as it is.

I'm better now that I've been on a combo of Wellbutrin and Zoloft for a while now, but I still have bad moments. I just had my Mirena removed today and swapped out for Paragard again, and I'm hoping this will make a difference. I really think the extra hormones were to blame for my craziest thoughts. Guess we'll see in a week or two.
