The board is slow tonight. Maybe there isn't anyone who can relate or has anything more to contribute. If you are looking for attention well, try another night perhaps?

If you have PPD symptoms call your doctor. My LO is crying so I have to go.

Does the highlighted part that she wrote sound snarky? If so, that would be pretty shiity to call someone out like that if their is some PPD going on.

It sucks when you feel alone. if is ppd or not, its no fun when you are feeling down. I found out that getting out side once a day, or even opening the windows helped alot. The deary winter weather doesnt help any form of depression. Also a bath once a week with no one but you helps. other then that i am not much help since I get that way quite a bit. keep you head up, you are a great mommy and wife and student!! (hugs)

Thanks, a pat on the back is always nice! I think you are right about the weather playing a role, in the spring, summer and fall the kids and I are outside all day! Your LO is very lucky to have a wondeful, sympathetic Mommy like you!

I'm not trying to be mean, but I think that you are reading too much in to what you consider a lack of responses on your first post and red's post. I think that there are people out there who can relate and I'm sure that those who felt like sharing their experiences did so. Red's baby was probably actually crying, and therefore she had to get off line.

Your late to the party. I only had 1 response, I was looking for more advice and experience until I posted this. As for red, she can be snarky. I asked if that sounded snarky, I didnt say she was being snarky.

Thanks. and your welcome! But i dont know if DS would agree with you today. i have four projects due in the next two weeks, plus finals so he has been pretty much playing in his extersaucer most of the day. I feel terrible.

A good cry and pity party never hurt anyone just as long as you dont let it take over and control your life. I deal with it everyday. There are some days i dont want to drag myself out of bed and i am just over whelmed. PM if you ever need to talk, cry, vent whatever. I think student mommies need to stick together!!

My kid was crying and I DID have to go and nurse him back to slumber. Happens every night either at 9:30 or 10:30 (if I'm lucky).

I think that your first post was genuine and that this particular posting not long after you didn't get a response was really unnecessary. Sometimes the board is slow. It doesn't mean people out there aren't willing to help but maybe the lack of responses meant that they couldn't relate.

If you are having a hard time, I'm sorry. PPD is a serious matter and I do believe you should absolutely talk to your doctor about it instead of just expecting that people on an internet message board will make you feel better or be your support. Expecting that is scary. Relying on an internet board to help you through a potentially rough time mentally, physically or otherwise is a risk.

Without getting into details, I've just had two members of my family end their lives together because of a mental illness that overtook their entire lives. I don't joke around or poke fun at this. I don't wish you any malice or hostility - however I am a realist. If you are feeling a build up of stress, please talk to your doctor. Reach out to people in your life that you can rely on. But please do not berate people on a message board or guilt them because they didn't respond to you fast enough or to your liking.

That will not help matters for you or for anyone else suffering.

What's with the eyeroll? All I see here is good advice.

You're looking for snark when there isn't any.

To the OP, please see your doctor if you are having issues. And the bump has a PPD board now as well.

Want a personalized experience?

Wow, Im feeling overwhelmed with support and advice.
