Hi all,
My LO is a month old. A few days after we got home from the hospital I started feeling sad and alone. Weirdest feeling! The lonely, inadequate feelings continued and still show their ugly faces now... At times it seems like they have subsided but then they come back.
I went to my OB today to discuss it all. She referred me to a therapist and mentioned meds. She left it completely up to me. I am deciding to do both. I HATE the way I feel. One min I feel strong and positive and then later on I feel inadequate, anxious, can't relax, worried, scared, sad because I feel stuck at home, etc...
I also find myself missing my mom and family extremely... My mom helped me for the first 2 weeks but had to go back to work. She lives 5 hrs away.
I'm so sad its hit me this way... I started the Zoloft today. I could use some encouragement and words of advice/wisdom. Thank you ladies...

I hope my body adjusts. A part of me wants to put the meds aside and try other methods first such as the counseling, working out, starting to do the things I did before baby.
