XP..need some help..

in Postpartum Depression

Some days I just don't know what's wrong with me :(  I wake up and I'm already angry.  I don't know how to speak in a tone that isn't angry when talking to the kids anymore.  Don't get me wrong, I love them, would die for them, but some days I want to just run away....It seems like they are always at each other, and they NEVER listen to me.  DH walks in from work and I don't recognize them, they are SO good for him.  I go to sleep at and night and think, tomorrow, I will try to be better....but morning comes and it's the same, one of the boys will do something or say something that 'urks' me and I'm angry again....I don't want my kids knowing me this way.  I don't want them growing up and having these memories of me always yelling and angry.  bedtime used to be my favourite, reading and cuddling..now i find the shortest book and get out of there as fast as i can....this is killing me...i'm tired of crying, i'm tired of being angry....i just don't know what to do...I know my husband can see this change in me, but hasn't said anything, and I haven't brought it up either...He works so hard, and such long hours sometimes, I hate to burden him...I'm sorry guys, now I'm just rambling...just feels good to get some of it off my chest...thanks for listening..

    You need a big hug and a big break.

    Let me tell you that it sounds like you are completely overworked and on fraile nerves from motherhood and there is nothing wrong with that!

    You need a break. 

    Try keeping a journal, writing your thoughts and feelings down as they happen.

    Have a good cry too.  It releases endorphins that help regulate your emotions.

    I just wanted to chime in and tell you that you are doing a great job even if you think you come up short and be good to yourself.

    You sound EXACTLY like me 2 months ago! You're not alone and there IS a light at the end of the tunnel! Talk to your Dr. Now that I see how much better I feel, I am so mad at myself for waiting so long.
