PPD/PPA Check In

How has this past week been? Anything to share?
I thought maybe we could start including 1 struggle and 1 accomplishment throughout the week (or more if you'd like). That way we can look at where we need to focus and get a little help but also see how we are improving.

Re: PPD/PPA Check In
Struggle: I had a total break down on Monday about work, I truly despise my job and with the massive pay cut it gets really hard. I also applied for a different position, had the first interview and then never heard back. Come to find out they already started the second interviews and still haven't had the courtesy to tell me I didn't get it. It is really hard to stay positive.
Accomplishment: after having that massive breakdown on Monday my fiance and I actually had an awesome talk about it and about what we can do to help each other on a daily basis. We aired out the issues we had and instead of fighting about it we were able to have a discuss and come up with a plan to help. I also had my bowling league last night which helped immensely, doing something for myself for even those two hours really recharged me.
Struggle: DH is really getting in my nerves lately. He expects me to be super mom and super wife. I try as much as I can, but I can't do it all. He doesn't see how his comments affect my depression. He thinks depression is all in my head and I have no reason to be sad. It's frustrating and isolating.
Accomplishment: I had upped my anti depressant meds a couple weeks ago. I think it's making a big difference. I notice that I'm in a happy mood more often and it just feels good. I hope that continues. Plus, DS has been sleeping longer this week, and it's so wonderful to not be in such a sleep deprived haze every day.
BFP #1 8/25/12 EDD 4/28/13 Blighted Ovum, D&C 9/20/12 at 8w6d. I'll always remember the first one. My baby Grace. BFP #2 12/26/12 EDD 9/4/13. DS born 9/7/13. My sweet rainbow.
1 accomplishment: I went to the dr finally and got Lexipro. I'm glad to finally be taking steps to help myself feel better.
