feeling sad

PrincessFiona9

I plan on contacting my insurance to see about possible counseling and maybe seeing about getting back on meds. (I was briefly on zoloft when I was 2 mos PP. I don't feel like it helped though, which is why I stopped taking it.) anyway, lately I've been feeling more sad all the time. I don't feel suicidal or anything. I still get joy out of some things in life, like my daughter, and spending quality time with my friends and family. but I just feel like I'm down in the dumps a lot too. I don't know...I feel hopeless sometimes. like my life isn't going to get any better, like I'm going to be alone forever. I feel worried that I'm never going to be able to afford to move out of my parent's house. it's only been a little over a month but I'm so used to being independent that this is driving me crazy. I feel like my family resents me, even though they've never said anything like that. I just want to cry sometimes. I guess I just needed to get it out, thanks for reading...

As a counselor in training, I would highly suggest seeing a therpist! They can definitely help to work through some issues and get you back to being your happy self again!

Good luck, dear!

Most of your worries are reasonable.  Not reasonable, like "are they true" but you're not alone.  I know I've worried most of those things too...  I worry about being alone, I worry about burdening my family too much...

Counseling is great, I go every two weeks - most insurance plans cover it!

Hey Girly!!! You are not alone I promise.

I could have posted the same thing the past few weeks. I spent 2 full days this week convinced I have PPD.. which I am not certain I still do not. The feeling of aloneness has been like this since I was pregnant.

I worry about this stuff all.the.time.  Sometimes it gets me down, sometimes I snap out of it.  I see a therapist periodically when I need it.  She definitely helps me a lot....I would highly recommend it.
