Went to the doc today .....

in Parenting after 35
.... and pretty much lost it.  I feel bad now because I think my OB was quite surprised as she's always used to seeing me so happy.  I was hysterically crying and telling her all sorts of things that a mother/wife should not even be thinking about.  I'm officially on meds and will go see a therapist next week.  It was truly hard for me to take this first step, but i'm glad I did because I need to be around for my kids.

    Good for you!  I agree with the pp - getting there and telling someone it's not all sunshine is the hardest step.  I felt so much better though a few years back.  GL!!

    Bea.. think of this as a mental reboot.  

    Your life has changed so drastically in the past few years.. it's no surprise that it gets a little overwhelming sometimes.

    this is a great way to look at it.....  big hugs Bea!!  I went to see a therapist after M was born.  (I am a little worried about how I will be after the twins are here)  But try to remember, it is a phase- no matter how long it lasts- and you are doing the right thing by getting some help from professionals. ((hugs))

    I am so glad you are going to therapy.  And remember, if you do not  hit it off with the first one you see, keep looking.  Personalities may not mesh and you can fire one and look for another.

    ((HUGS)) I know it's difficult to open up like that - even when you weren't trying - but it's good you did. I hope the meds help and talking with someone most surely will! Let us know how you like the therapist and what you think of your meds.

    Bea - I am so sorry you are having difficulty but it is not surprising! It is unfathomable how you do it all AND having to deal with a major life decision around moving and a job has to take its toll.

    It is good news that you are reaching out for help.
