Postpartum Depression
new to board, I need a place to vent (long)
hello ladies! Im taking a hiatus from my regular 12-24m and FB and remembered theres this page..and Im afraid they will flame me over there and Im sure you ladies can relate. so here I go..
I really, REALLY dont want to be a mom today. My husband works 3 jobs and is home MAYBE 1 day a week, in which he spends his day relaxing, seeing his girls. Im a SAHM and due to finances, I wont be going back for a while. So Im pretty much a single mom that has someone make money for the bills..but I do 100% of the raising.
Little DD has colic/reflux, and IM pretty sure she is going through her 12 week growth spurt, and big DD is getting all 4 molars at once, PLUS a lower incisor. the screaming doesnt.stop. I just want to crawl in a hole and not come out. I just lost my hlth insurance from my job that I was at before the recent DD was born, and Im in between getting it again right now,s o I cant afford to go to a doc to get anti-depressants.
Im so tired of doing this on my own. I do get out with friends here and there, but EVERYONE has something going on all the itme. Family is 45min+ away. So I dont have a whole lot of help. I just want a break!!!!! I want to sleep, since neither DD STTN AT ALL. My jaw hurts so bad from grinding my teeth from stress too.
At night, right when I get one to sleep, the other starts screaming and wakes her up. I feel sooooo horrible saying this, but I just want to put my hand over her mouth so shes quiet..not to hurt her, just to shut her up:-((
Im sorry this is so "woe is me"..but I have no idea what to do anymore. Im so tired of the constant screaming and crying that goes on 24/7. When DH is home, hes no help at all, since he has yet to be alone with both kids for more than an hour. (thats an issue in itself)
ugh, thats all..not really, but Im sure your getting tired of reading, LOL

You have GOT to get a break! DH needs to take some night wake ups and he either needs to give you a few hours off or you need to get a sitter so you can go out without the girls. Do NOT feel guilty for telling him this! You need sleep too, and just because you're not bringing in a paycheck doesn't mean that what you do is any less important than what he does.
Since you said you're between health insurances right now, I'd suggest looking into borrowing a book from the library on tapping. It combines acupressure (that you do on yourself) and relaxation breathing. I've been using it in conjunction with zoloft and I feel so much better.
