: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :My DS is almost 8 months old. I have been diagnosed with depression in the past. I'm feeling this frustrated, angry, sad undertone to my life. I have great happiness with my DS and DH, but I also am frustrated with DS and angry with DH.
When DH comes home from work, there is always this attitude that I just sit at home all day and take it easy, while he's laboring all day long. My DS is teething really hard, and fights every wink of sleep he gets, and is cranky all the time now, and DH thinks that it's a walk in the park. Meanwhile, when he watches him for 2 hours he acts like a puppy dog, wagging his tail, "Lookie what I did! Aren't you proud?!"
I just have an empty feeling. I feel like this is never going to end, either. We're moving in a few months, and I'm looking forward to that. We have no family around right now, and no friends close (and reponsible) enough to babysit. DS won't take a bottle, either. I never get a break, and when I get a rest at all, DH makes me feel guilty about it.
Is this PPD? I want to be a better person for my family. I don't want to get angry about things that I should just let go. We fight a lot about money, and frankly, until we move, our financial situation is not going to change.
Thanks for listening.
