sad again  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
About 2 months ago I became depressed. My DS is 7 months old this coming sunday. I had mild baby blues for a few days after his birtha nd then felt fine. Then when he turned 5 months i got depressed. for two weeks i couldn't shake this low, sad feeling. i had no energy, no desire to do anything. I never once felt any anger toward my baby, but when he would cry ( I mean like unconsoleable cry) I would have to leave the room, and let DH handle him.

Suddenly it went away. When DS turned 6 months old it went away. my spirits lifted, I had energy again. but then today, (and we just had a long wedding weekend in VA 8 hrs away from home) I feel so tired, so low, so sad. there is nothing that lifts my spirits, I feel all turned inside.

I'm postiing this hoping that it will help, I have my PED I can call and he will set me up with a counselor (We talked about it when I was depressed last) But truthfully I just feel like sitting in bed for a few days and doing nothing.

Maybe that weekend was too much? I don't like changes in my schedule (never have). And if you can get some time to yourself, take it. Try to relax (I can only relax when I have significant time off, just getting an hour or two hardly does it for me). I hope you will be feeling better soon...
