    @krzyriver hope you can get some relief! I know it was really hard for me to make the leap and get on antidepressants, but it really helped me and I'm so glad I did. Hope you can find something that helps!

    I honestly cant imagine doing this without my antidepressants. My moods swing so much that I need the help. It doesn't help that anytime I have to see my husband's ex wife and ex MIL my anxiety is horrible...the only downside to TBall season!

    @krzyriver I'd also ask for a panel to make sure you levels are good. My friend had an energy issue and I think it ended up being vitamin D? I can't remember. But something to look into.

    @hellopartyof5 My OB runs vitamin D levels on all her patients. She says nearly everyone comes back low (pregnant or not). I didn’t notice any changes when I started taking the supplements (this was also almost 3 years ago), but I know a lot of people see some positive mood changes.

    @coffee-saur I hope so. I was on Lexapro pre-pregnancy but it wasn't helping much and I was on a wait list to see a psychiatrist. When I got my BFP, I was told to stop taking it and I've been trying to avoid anything while pregnant. But I need something, even if it helps minimally.

    @hellopartyof5 Yeah they ran my Vitamin D and it was normal. I've been on some sort of vitamin D supplement or another since one of my very first pregnancies. The supplement helps SO much, but I suffer from pretty severe depression. When not pregnant, I can usually self medicate with a healthy diet and exercise, but I had trouble getting back in the habit after Z, so I was on Lexapro. I guess I need something until I can finally get back to a healthy lifestyle after this baby.

    @krzyriver I totally understand that. I suffer from depression as well and can usually pull my self out of it (eventually...) but it's such a struggle and I used to have a much harder time with it. I hope you can find something that works well! There's nothing worse than feeling like you can't even take care of your own kid.

    I'm finally starting to feel normal, and I'm debating being productive (folding some laundry, organizing something) or just cross stitchinf and Netflix...

    My kid just reminded me he has no clean underwear.  I knew this morning and never got to laundry. Guess I know what I’m doing tonight. Ugh!

    @purplegoldfish2 - I literally just started a load.  I have two more loads I have to do tonight and tomorrow.  I’m giving up on my sheets this go around.

    At least he reminded you ahead of time though! That seems like the kind of thing I always discover as I’m rushing to get to preschool on time.

    @knottieamusements We have mountain laundry in the basement.  Easily 10+ loads, including our 2 spare sets of sheets, which means I can’t change sheets until I do laundry.  MH just washed all the laundry a couple weeks ago and I swore I would keep up with it... and now the kids have no underwear again.

    @DunkinDecaf only because they change their underwear and socks at night.  I have no idea why they started that; they’re weird.

    @krzyriver good luck! I know I would be lost without Zoloft! A few weeks ago I only took 50 by accident and it was a horrible day! Hopefully you find something that works!

    Same @cdepperschmidt! I'm on 100mg a day, which I take just before bed. What do you take, if you don't mind me asking?

    Finally back home and trying to catch up on it all now. Sad I missed the Sept registry thread! Would have loved to see OPs response.

    Thanks ladies! I did some crazy spring cleaning today which helped tremendously! Temporary solution to hold me over until my appointment. But oh man, my back is killing me now! Entertaining Z with Moana for the rest of the day.  :#

    Don’t worry, I not only missed the thread, I missed that there was a thread to see.

    Would anyone be interested in the 'Boxed' app? It's a shopping app that has bulk foods. I don't know how the prices would compare with a place like Costco (my closest one would be at least a 3 hr drive away) but the prices are comparable to Wal-Mart.
    You get free shipping with an order over $50 and it comes right to your door! I have a referral code that anyone can use and it will give you $15 off and I get credit. I get paper products from them and snack size bags of chips and such for packed lunches.
    They have lots of different foods and a lot of household things. It's super useful to me cuz, like I said, I have no bulk foods places anywhere close, but thought some might like having it shipped right to your door! 
    My referral code is DFQ99 if anyone is interested!

    NYSDOH just posted a thing on Facebook about telling promgoers that pale skin is in and don’t tan before prom, etc. and the picture had 5 girls in prom dresses... every single one of them had a tan.  Talk about mixed messages.

    @krzyriver I’m not sure what your doc mentioned, but my doc, who specializes in women’s mental health, gave me the go ahead for lexapro during pregnancy. I ultimately went off of it for other reasons, but I’m happy to send the paperwork she gave me if you wanted to read it. I went to a center in Boston that is doing a lot of the new research - I mentioned in another thread but for example they are doing studies on folate and depression. I hope you find a solution that works for you and feel better soon.

    While helping clean out my dad's shed my cat managed to rub along some grease.. We don't even know where or how. He's a long haired, hates being brushed, and generally wiped down. I've been wiping him a couple passes at a time with a damp rag but other than that I have no idea how to clean that shit off him. :|

    @mamabearcj - try vinegar or baking soda.
