Fighting Depression

Cricket127 · October 2010

Hello all!

Happily my pregnancy was a pretty easy one and overall my baby is a healthy one. However I've noticed I'm coming down with depression and I don't want it to get any worse so I do need some imput.

My husband and charming daughter were my support group throughout all of the pregnancy and I am grateful to them for it. However, there are times when I feel as though I am racing around trying to catch up with everyhing whether it be laundry, cleaning house, or whatever needs attention. Trouble is I was raised in a household where if you saw something that needed to be done, you did it. Not to say that my family doesn't pitch in (they do most times) but how do I get them to pitch in more without being a nag? My husband does work full-time and my daughter is in school so I understand they are tired when they come home. They love the little guy and I do give them down time but I still feel that there are tasks to be done and I seem to be doing them most often.

As for me, I do have my hobbies and they do help but....

Sorry for the vent but I could stand some imput here. This is a good marriage and I do not want to lose it. Why do I say that? I'm afraid it could lead to other things.

Thanks!

My husband and I have had the worst fights ever since having our son. We've had a hard time adjusting also. Having a new baby totally changes the dynamics of a family.

My husband and I have gone through a lot these past two months. We are going to counseling together tomorrow.

You should start by having an honest talk with your husband about how you are feeling and work from there. That's what I did. Holding your feelings in and trying to do everything by yourself it only works for so long. I tried it that way. It's too much and it did cause problems in our marriage.

Be honest, have faith .. Talk it out! Hang in there!
