Postpartum Depression

PPD or just plain ole depression, I don't know . . .

 . . . but it's affecting my marriage. 

I'm so sad all the time.  I cry every day.  I was doing Ok for awhile, but now I'm not OK.  I'm sad and angry. 

We found out a week ago that we have to move.  We've been renting this place for over 9 years, but now our landlord needs to move back into the house we are living in - so we gotta go.

I'm not handling it well at all.  I'm freaking out about every little thing. 

My husband is so sick of me.  I feel like it's affecting my marriage.  I want to stay married, but with how sad I am ALL the time - I don't blame him for wanting to leave.

I'm on meds AND I'm in therapy.  I don't know what else to do.

  • Talk to your doctor and therapist about how you're feeling. Sounds like your meds need adjusting. That would be a relatively easy fix!

  • I agree with PP, talk with your Dr about either switching medication or upping the dosage on your current meds.
  • I have depression and anxiety. I have struggled with it for over two years. One thing that has really helped me is my dogs. DH and I have 3. Pet therapy has been proven to help with anxiety and depression. When you feel like everything is out of control and you can't take the stress anymore, go outside and love on the dogs. They will always think you are the best person in the world. Training the dogs can also help. It is something you can control and will help you see that you are doing things right. I know it is hard but you will get through it. your DH maybe frustrated because he can't help or fix it. Let him know that you love him for trying. Hope it helps.

    God Bless
