Postpartum Depression

When it Rains it Pours

So finally its been 3-4 weeks since I started Celexa and I am soo much better. Things were looking up. We went away for my brothers wedding ans had a great time. We got home and just Wednesday (for no reason) my fiance lost his job!!! We had just spent like all our money to get to my brothers wedding plus I had to throw my sisters bridal shower last weekend and her bachelorette party in 2 weeks!! Im a SAHM so that was our only income. Family is helping with the bills (im very luck).

 

Im just worried Ill relapse back with whats going on. and Jon is so down on himself and he is such a positive person. I have caught him crying since he said "I feel like Im not a man and cant support my family". It kills me. He is just such a devoted father and partner and worked his a** off (corporate is actually trying to relocate him since he was terminate for hear say type issues with a guest complaint). I keep offering to go back to work since I can get into a few places right away but he wants me to stay here with LO like we always wanted.

 

Im just worried and sad. and now were stuck inside due to $. I keep trying to get him to go to the parks or walks. UGH!! Why when things finally get better do they throw another curve ball?

  • Maybe he will be relocated to somewhere awesome and it will all end up as a blessing in disguise! I'm so sorry you guys are having such a hard time.

  • Thanks!!

    Its funny because I keep saying for us not to wish for this job back or that but instead "pray that whats best for us will happen"........ you know leave it in someone else arms and ride it out.

  • Sorry about H's job, but like pp I hope it ends up being a blessing in disguise. T&P (((Hugs)))
  • I'm sorry to hear that - that's got to be really tough on both of you.  Hopefully he'll hear something back from his company about whether their going to relocate him and in the mean time if you need to go back to work temporarily at least that's an option.  I was laid off in January (the week before I found out I was pregnant) and it was a really hard blow - I felt like such a failure.  It really helped to have a plan.  I know this must be so stressful but hang in there!

  • Oh, and I will say that I agree, when it rains it pours.  Right after getting laid off and finding out I was pregnant...about a month later I lost one of the twins and my sister also had a m/c.  But I will say that several months later just the opposite happened - my sister got pg again (she has IF issues so this was a shock) and I got 3 job offers in one day.  So hopefully things will turn around soon and you'll have lots of good things going on :)

  • Thanks guys. Just seems like every since I went into labor nothing in our lives has gone as planned. And I know we just have to ride the wave and see where it takes us. I mean were both good, honest, caring and educated people so it has to get better...... but thanks for all our responses
