Anyone else got the blues?

karleegirl

I've had depression issues in the past but haven't been on meds for a few years. But I'm crying at the drop of a hat. Dh doesn't know what to do. My lo is eating every 2 hours and I feel so chained down. I only got a 5 minute shower b/c she was screaming bloody murder. Im so tired I'm being a crappy mom to my boys. I love my sweet girl so much. But as night approaches I just want to cry b/c I know I won't sleep.( posting from phone)

I could have written this post word for word. I've been told that if its baby blues it will gradually get better and go away in a few weeks. Im hoping that will be the case and that Im not battling PPD. Hang in there and know that you are not alone. Feel free to PM me if you need to vent

I cried every day the first week and almost every day the second week. It got better after the second week but I still have a hormonal meltdown every once in awhile. Today DH made me cry about our McDonald's order.  Hoping it'll end soon but I'll be taking about it with my OB at my 6 week appointment tomorrow.

I was exactly where you were a few weeks ago. I would cry for any reason and all the time. I cried when SO would ask what i wanted for dinner. I was just really sad all the time. I have had depression and anxiety issues in the past. My doctor gave me a prescrip for meds that I had been on before. I hven't filled them yet because I was wanting to see if things got bettet on their own. I feel like a whole new person now. I don't cry for every little thing anymore and just feel a lot better in general. I am going to go back on the meds anyway because they help me concentrate better at work. So the anxiety help is just a plus! I hope you start to feel better or talk to your doc if you feel that it is too much for you.

Thanks y'all, it's nice to know I'm not alone. I have a checkup next week with ob and I'll talk to him. My dh is watching me like I'm going crazy. He doesn't get it.

I just posted about this on another board.  I miss being pregnant and feel like I'm neglecting my dog and missing the relationship we've always had.  I am trying to remind myself that it is normal to feel like this right now and that it will get better soon.  If not, then it's time to talk to my doctor.  I don't really have much advice since I'm in the same place, but just know that you aren't alone!

You are not alone.  I had a very hard pregnancy followed by a long rough c section and now i'm home dealing with my almost 4 year old and a newborn baby.  I had my tubes tied also after DD2 was born because of the medical issues I experienced with DD1 and DD2 and the health concerns that affected DD2.  So on top of dealing with the horrible c section I had, recovering from major surgery, dealing with a preschooler and a newborn, and then the emotions of not being able to have anymore children (even though I know it's the best thing for me and our family) I found myself crying every evening for 4 days straight.  Yesterday and tonight seem to be much better than what I have been feeling the past several days.  I am hoping to come to terms with everything and start feeling "happy" about the last addition to our family.

I know exactly how you feel. I have daily breakdowns that always occur around 5 or 6PM. DS isn't sleeping well at night and I think its just the stress of knowing another sleepless night is coming. My mom is staying with us and has been SUCH a huge help. Anytime she tells me I'm doing a great job or how proud she is of my I start crying. The thought of her leaving on Sunday makes me sick to my stomach. She keeps telling me this is totally normal and it will get better. I hope she's right...I'm sick of feeling this way!

I am right there with you. DH has been a SAINT through the whole time, and I couldn't have asked for a better support or man to hold me through it. It has gotten better, I still am uber sensitive, but not as bad and the anxiety I had when I would go somewhere with out DH is getting better too.
