Feeling alone.

I hope that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Ever since I've had my daughter, in a room full of friends and loved ones; I still manage to feel as if I'm alone. I don't get what's wrong with me. I've told my doctor how I felt after I had my 6 week check up and she told me to give it a couple weeks. It's been almost 4 months since then and I still feel the same. Am I alone? Am I the only one feeling this way?

I can go out with my friends and still be unhappy. I can spend a wonderful evening with my husband, but still feel empty.. I don't get it. It seems as thought that there is nothing that can erase this.

Is there anyone else out there, moms??

Yes it definitely sounds like you have some depression going on. Clinical level and perhaps even post partum. Go see another doctor and get evaluated for depression. You don't have to keep feeling like this and you for damned sure don't have to feel ashamed of feeling the way you do. Try to get excercise when you can because that does help, but you may do well with medication and you need your doctor for that. And don't you dare feel ashamed or embarassed if you do need to take something. I felt that way for years and went through years of pain for no good reason. Best of luck honey and keep us posted on how you're doing. You'll get through this and you'll be okay.

Get a new doc! You are depressed, the longer you are there the harder it is ti get out. And seek a pschotrist(sorry spelling sucks) to make sure it is just hormones and not more of lifes other problems..

My sleep isn't the best. I wake up every couple hours. Sometimes every two hours and always wake up in the middle of the night whenever Brayden whines. I always feel drained.

I don't drink much of anything, honestly.

Your are okay ... by that I mean normal :) I know you don't feel okay and it doesn't help to have a doctor dismiss your feelings. Get a new doctor.

How are you sleeping? Your husband needs to help make sure you get enough sleep - lack of sleep leads to depression

How much water do you drink?

Avoide sugars, corn syurp, atrifical sweeteners, dyes, trans fats, chemicals, meats with hormones (you have enough swimming through your system)

It is okay to be unhappy .... keep searching until you find what you need

Yeah I went thru that with my 3 1/2 year old son and after 4 months they figured out I had depression. Sometimes our hormones don't go back to normal after our pregnancy. After I started the anti depressants things got much better. there were days where I felt like I just wanted to be pregnant again. Its normal to feel a lil crazy after we give birth and even there after. It will get better talk to a psychologist or Ob/GYN they should be able to help you. Lexapro worked really well! Good luck sweetie!
