Do you think you are depressed? Please talk to your doc if you do cause your doc is there to help you! Your doc wants to help you! Please don't hesitate to ask for help if you think you need it. If you aren't sure if you are depressed it's still totally ok to ask your doc and they can help you figure it out. Or are you feeling tired and overwhelmed? Life is EXHAUSTING as a new mom! As previous poster said, a nice long shower or a bath and a nap can go a long way to feeling much better. I had a night where I just lost it because I was too tired and just overwhelmed. Hubby took over and sent me to bed and made sure I got a nap later that day and extra sleep the next night and I felt like a whole new human and ready to get back in the game. Is there someone you can ask to help out a little so you can get some much needed rest? Hang in there mama! Every mom I know swears to me it gets easier.
I cried so much the first 2 weeks. Half the time for no reason. At 1 month, it's better but if we had a bad night with little sleep I still cry easily when I'm frustrated. It does get better. The more sleep I get the better I feel and less I cry. If you think it's more than just being overwhelmed and hormones, please talk to your doctor. Best of luck.
