And a cigarette helped that? If that was truly how you felt, I sincerely hope you talk to someone instead of just turning to a cig.
It helped me cope with my stress tremendously. And yes I did seek professional help. Which I am thinking about starting again (see my post Bad PPD Day Today).
I'm sincerely not trying to be an asshole. I take your feelings very seriously. What I'm trying to get across is what happens the day when you are out of cigs and you're in a low place? That's what I'm worried about. I've never smoked, so I don't know the power it can possibly have or someone but I think there should be more done to help you instead of just smoking. I sincerely hope that things get better for you and you can get the help to feel better.
I have a lot of respect for anyone who has quit smoking. Everyone knows my mom died of stage IV cancer and unfortunately it was Lung Cancer she still smoked, the habit was that hard to beat.

Ok I got another one. I just did DD's laundry and all my kid wears is sleep and plays. Idgaf.
ALL LO wears is sleepers. My whole gifted wardrobe is pretty much going to waste. I'm trying my best to stop being lazy and make sure I put a real outfit on her if we're going out the house, but it's so damn cold out and the sleepers look so warm and have built in socks.

I've been kinda bitchy lately so maybe don't take this too personally, but my confession is @zever your attention-whoreness, and need to fit in are annoying me.
My confession: I feel my relationship falling apart and I'm not doing anything about it. I have no idea how to balance the "mom" role and the "girlfriend" role so that everyone is happy. And sorry SO but mom role comes first and always will.
I have this issue too. FI is always bitching about how hedoesntget enough attention anymore and on and on...
I don't even know if he will stick around, Z will always come first.

Seeing your posts with excuses for staying with your loser fiancé annoy me.
I've been spying on my nanny. She only comes once a week for a few hours, but DH got this "PetCam" through work as a holiday gift, where basically you can set it up at your house and then watch your pets during the day via webcam whenever you want. I set it up in our living room and I just like to check out what they're doing when I'm not there. I didn't tell her about it so I kinda feel like a jerk, but hey.. I don't think you can be too careful when it comes to your kids.

Geez. I'm all for calling people out if it's warranted, but this is just mean. I guess kudos for trying to help get this thread to 23 pages, though.. I have a feeling some people may disagree with you.. Including me.
1) I co-bathe with LO all.the.time.
2) I barely Bump anymore because the gifs kill my phone. Go ahead and flame me, I probably won't see it anyways
I do this too! Ok, maybe not all the time but sometimes it's the only way I can get a shower and smelling decent is my only marital contribution at this time.
Edit: I don't know why this came out looking like that. I suck at bumping. You can't be awesome at everything.
And here's one to make me sound like a brat-I'm annoyed with my Christmas gift from my in laws. MIL asked for a list, I gave her one, and we got a gift card for a chain restaraunt instead of individual gifts. Why ask for a list when you're just going to buy whatever gift card you can grab at the checkout counter at the grocery store?
I can sort of relate about being bugged by a Christmas present. DH got me a new crock pot. Keep in mind I don't like cooking, and this is so I can cook for both of us and clean it up... He said he for it because he knew ours broke. So, I think I'm gonna buy DH toilet paper for next Christmas.. We 'NEED' it and we'll both benefit.

@hstautz quitting smoking was the hardest thing to quit for me, drugs and alcohol included. i am not going to defend your smoking, but i will tell you that i understand in a way that makes me laugh because it was SO. GODDAMNED. HARD.
that said, it is possible. use one of those vapor e cigs if you have to. but second and third hand smoke are leading contributors to SIDS.
edit- nevermind...i figured out how to GIF!!!!
Um, I'm with rooster. I quit when I got my BFP. When I had to put Sydney down, I bought a pack and have smoked secretly. A couple weeks ago I got one of those vapor cig things, and if it's the nicotine there are different levels. I chose the lowest menthol and barely use it, but when I feel like I need a cig, I take a puff or two and the feeling is gone. I'm teaching myself to take breaths instead of puffs now. FI is smoking and that makes it very hard, but I want better.

i do want to add, though, that if you are suffering from PPD, smoking is not a reasonable method of treatment. i suggest seeking out a medical professional. i know that it may seem to mask the anxiety, but its not the proper solution.

Whoa. I know you apolgized for this already, but I agree, the FI posts are a bit repetitive as well, so I don't think there's a lot of judging you can do here.

Yes, I realize this now. @zever, I am sorry. I think I saw red because I'm not mean. And that was horrible.
So when you co-bathe.. Do you just sit in the tub together? Can you actually get yourself bathed? I think it sounds like a marvelous idea, but im just trying to get the logistics down.
I feel the need to lie to myfitnesspal... An app! You know you eat bad when you're embarrassed to type it into an app that no one else even sees. I have an unhealthy emotional relationship with food.
Other people have real relationship problems: with fiancé's, in laws, etc. I'm having problem being truthful with an app. I'm pathetic.

I think I need a lesson on this as well. Feels like it would work well if I figured out how to do it when LO needs a good scrubbing!

For the record though, I do hope that things get better for you, I know you're in a tough spot.

Usually I take a shower, I have seats in my shower. So I'll either scrub down before or after, and H will hand him off or take him, and if H isn't here I put a towel in his rocking chair bouncer and then set him in it or take him out of it.

@sfeebs13 - I know you already apologized for this, but I have to throw in on it.
I adore @Zever000, and I know a lot of us do. She was going through something difficult and shared it with us. When people said they weren't interested she stopped, but there were plenty who were engaging her actively on the topic. Can't blame her for that. Also - she is not trying to fit in. She fits in. With a lot of us.
I have gone through tough stuff and gotten an outpouring of support from this board too. I'm not dying for attention; I'm sharing with people I have a relationship with that has developed over 14 months - just like Zever.
I believe you have gotten similar support for several situations on this board as well, and as far as I know, everyone has been damn supportive and offered advice you really should freakin' take.
Sorry. Yep. I'm fucking white knighting for Zever and IDGAF because there are about 20 women on here I would white knight for and Zever is on that list.

@BellaOso our closet is our nursery too. My dad said we should name LO Harry (Potter) because his room was under the stairs. My dad was just joking. In all honesty, it's a nice little room. Now if only I could get LO to sleep in the crib.
Re: FFFC
My heart is breaking for you right now. I'm so sorry. I'm sending you creepy internet stranger hugs.
