Postpartum Depression Round 3!

Neary2011

I have suffered from Postpartum Depression two separate time before this time. My first time suffering from PPD was after I delivered my daughter Kendall in November 2012 and instead of telling anyone i just suffered all alone. and my second time was January 2014 after my second miscarriage and I shared it my OB and she prescribed an anti depression and now I am suffering again. I am feeling so overwhelmed, I feel like everything is just coming at me, I am trying to potty training daughter while caring for my 2 month old son. I am trying to deal with it one day at a time but it is so hard because every day there is a new challenge that is bringing me down more, some days I just feel like giving up and running away, because I feel like I am all alone with raising and caring for my children and I feel like my husband doesn't find me attractive anymore. I hate the way my body looks and feels and I am so exhausted that I don't have the energy to do anything to make it look better. This passed Tuesday at a ladies prayer meeting I texted the pastors wife, Mrs. Charity how leads the ladies prayer meeting and asked her could she teach a ladies meeting on depression and ways to over come it and she said she would work on a lesson for it, because I need help with it. I am praying that with time things will get better, because I have decided not to take anti depressants.

Hang in there!! Being a mom is hard work but your little ones appreciate all you do for them! Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it and take a little time for yourself each day. Even if you have chosen not to take medication you should talk to your dr. They may have other suggestions or support groups to refer you to.
