I feel really depressed today. This depression has been creeping up gradually. I feel completely alone. I feel I'm not good enough for my DS.
@lizziebennett you are good enough, you are more than enough. When those thoughts are consuming your day it is time to seek help. Post partum depression can rear its head anytime in the first 12 months. It can be a long battle but remember you are not alone.
Thank you everyone for your kind words. You don't know how much I needed them. I just had a good cry with my DH, who is the best. I feel so stupid for being this way. I feel like it's a made up problem. My life is very blessed and I shouldn't feel this way. But one day at a time. BTW, I'm out of chocolate.

It is not stupid, or a made up problem. Now go get some chocolate!

@lizziebennett. Not to sound like a pill pusher, but zoloft seriously changed my life. I was so apprehensive to take it, but I told myself I would try it for a month and then reassess my situation. Best decision I've made in a long time! Hang in there and maybe talk to your dr.
I hate when LO is screaming in a store and the person checking me out makes a point of saying "oh someone is not happy." No shit dumbass, scan my stuff so I can pay and GTFO!
H keeps washing the dishes but then leaving one big pot full of water in the sink full of water. It is gross and now I have to stick my hand in that cold, greasy water to drain the sink and finish the dishes.
I just took a stroll over to the old place to see how things were going. Besides one post asking for deletion, there hasn't been a single post on Parenting in more than 24 hrs. WOW.
@lizziebennett you matter to me! I enjoy seeing your posts and appreciate your dry humor and your honesty. I know that's not as important as your son, but it's always nice hearing you're liked.

That's really sweet. Thanks. Thanks to everyone, really. Some days are just shit and it's nice to get support.
The Meijer toy clearance got us again. I found a $50 playset that I was going to buy J for his birthday for $12! It was such a great deal I had to add some more clearance toys to it too. When we move into our 493sq ft loft we will be sleeping on toys because there will be no room for beds.

Finally broke out the computer and made an avatar. I was going to try and bit witty with my avatar, but then I had way too much making a little person. This board is hella (are people still using that word?) confusing, despite the fact that I view in web format on my phone.
cdseno you are moving in a 493sqft home? WOW...that's some togetherness. No place to run and hide!

My parents have a loft above their garage and we are going to live there to save money so we can build across the street from them. Luckily we will be able to use the "big house" when we need to (their house is a small cottage). We won't have an oven so I will cook in their house and we will probably eat with them a lot. My mom works nights and H works off hours, so I am excited that we will be able to share meals with my dad.
We are really lucky that they are doing this for us. They are completely finishing the loft for us to live there. It was nothing but walls and a roof previously. And they understand boundaries, so even though we will be a staircase away, they would never come up unannounced.

@lizziebennett I am thinking of you and hope you feel better soon. I hope you find some help and support. FWIW I think you're a total badass and love hearing what you have to contribute to the board.
@lizziebennett I hope you feel better soon and can find some support and get help if it continues. I never thought I had PPD after my first but if I look back I'm sure I did and didn't recognize it in myself. I felt so alone all the time and compensated by shopping and putting us in major debt and hiding it from my husband. I wish I would have talked to someone instead.
Also now that Im caught up, @lizziebennett, cmon dance, jump on it, if u sexy then flaunt it, if u freaky then own it, dont brag about it, come show me!
