Hi. I honestly don't know what I'm doing, literally. I have a call into my OB, because frankly, there is something wrong. I refer to it as 'bad days'. Yesterday being one of them.I'm looking for an outlet to type what's on my mind & not only *possibly* have someone else relate, but not judge. I've tried talking to my close friends about things going thru my head & they look at me like I have 7 heads. FAIL. I'm scared. Scared to admit anything is wrong. I want the help, but ashamed I need it. I would like to think of myself as pretty together...thanks.

    Don't be scared or ashamed - you are not alone! Talking with your OB is a great first step. We're here if you need us! Smile

    I felt the same way in the beginning.  I was in denial for a while and my husband kept pushing me to get help.  I'm really glad I did!  I was on a low dose of zoloft, which helped for a while but then my bad days kept becoming more frequent.  I, again, was in denial that I needed to up my meds.  I called yesterday and got a new prescription and am feeling a lot better about everything! 

    Don't be ashamed to get help!  It makes a whole world of difference!  And remember, it's only temporary

    You are NOT alone. Check out the blog Postpartum Progress. When I was at my worst, I think I read EVERY SINGLE article and link on that site and it helped me tremendously. It's okay to ask for help. Remind yourself this is BIOLOGICAL. You can't wish it away. Just as if anything else with you were "wrong" with you (flu, broken bone, etc), you need some help to get well. Hang in there!

    OMG I so could have written this myself.  I am definitely scared to admit anything is wrong, and I definitely like to think of myself as "pretty together" so I feel ashamed admitting that I feel like my life is falling apart.
