Does that make you upset

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

If I go to DS's room before I leave for work I get so upset, I want to cry. Sometimes he wakes up and smiles at me and I cannot hold back the tears and have to grab my coat and run for dear life, afraid that I won't have the strength to leave the house.  He looks so cute I can hardly bring myself to leave.

 Do you feel that way too?

    um, no.  How long have you been back at work?

    I cried when I dropped DD off at daycare today. I cried every Monday for the first month, and then I got over it. Aparently being off with her for 5 days is the same as 4 months of maternity leave :P

    Sometimes.  I've been back at work since August and it's gotten much better since then.  But there are days when it's hard to leave, especially when she's super happy.

    I used to not have a problem but since he hit the 6 month mark and got all cute and interactive, it has been really hard.

    Did these feelings just start or have you felt this way the whole time?

    I felt that way from the beginning, then it got better because I stopped going to his room in the morning unless it's necessary. But every time I break this rule and peak in I get this way. Postpartum depression does not help, i am so overly sensitive I laugh at myself sometimes

    No, but when I was working I took LO to daycare. Or she was up before I left so DH could take her. 

    And, that general feeling of "I hate this" only lasted the first few days I was back anyway.

    Honestly it's a little hard but not to the point of crying. Now he has been teething horribly and just wanting to cuddle so lately it has been worse because I just want to hold him, not hand him off for someone else to sooth him, kwim?

    I was like that in the beginning but it's become easier. I feel worse at the middle of the week b/c I miss him, but I still have a few days until the weekend.

    Many mornings I feel this way, especially if he wakes up as I'm walking out the door.

    There are mornings I hate to leave her at my mom's.  Like others, usually when she's being ridiculously cute and funny. Or she's already fallen asleep and looks so peaceful.

    When she's awake, we have our little routine.  I will get her into a fresh diaper and her clothes for the day, then stand her up for a sloppy kiss and a "hug for the road".  She's just figuring out how to really hug.  It makes me feel better about leaving.

    To be honest I am just dealing with it, I am not fan of doctors. I am getting better though, at first I used to be a mess

    PPD is not a stuffy nose, it's serious shiit and you need to see a doctor about it. I'm saying this as someone who had severe PPD, you can't just ignore it and hope it goes away. This is going to sound harsh, but you are doing a disservice to your child by letting this go untreated. You're a mother now, this isn't just about you, you have a LO to take care of who needs you to take care of yourself.

    Seriously, PPD was absolute hell, but it only took a week of treatment for me to feel back to normal, and a month later I was able to stop taking meds completely.

    I didn't want to go to the doctor either, but thankfully my husband saw the symptoms and got me in. If that's what you need to do, have your H make the appointment and take you. Either way, you need to get in to see someone.
