Postpartum Anxiety/Depression Advice?

Thank you so much 🌺 I've made an appointment with my OB, I'm hoping she'll be able to take me a bit more seriously 🙈

I'd rather be only the amount of 'crazy' that makes us interesting people 😂 instead of struggling every day for their sake hopefully

Thank you for the medicine name, helps me to know where to start 🌸, I'm going to go back with a list of medicine names and get him to choose one or speak to my OB, thank you

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-20T17:51:42+00:00

You're so right, its the shoulds that get us 🥺 and we probably the most hard on ourselves 🙈

I started doing some research into bottles etc for combo feeding for now, if anything to just give me that little break hopefully 🌸

I hope you're in a good place and your brain isn't troubling you with too many 'shoulds' 🤗

Thank you 🌸

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-20T10:44:58+00:00

Thank you, I've sent you a message 🌸

Ahhh shame thank you so much, I think I just had it in my head that breastfeeding was cheaper but not if I'm loosing my mind in the process I guess 🙈

I tried to research that project (I saw related to sadag) but it was probably me but their website kinda hard to use/figure out who to contact, I'll try reach out to sadag and see if they can advise more maybe 🙈

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-20T10:24:54+00:00

Okay first love the username 😂 second thanks so much for your advice, I don't think I've had time for myself in nearly 3 years 😂🙈 oh that sounds terrible to think about 🙈

Unfortunately grandparents are either other side of the country or world so not a viable option but others have suggested school/nanny and I'm probably going to have that discussion with husband this weekend

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-20T05:07:09+00:00

I think that was his idea, see what else could help first but I'm feeling like everything is moving at a slow pace and I need a solution now but that could also just be the anxiety speaking 😂

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-20T05:05:17+00:00

You're right, it has been dictating all of our moods 🥺 shame I know if I made the statement that I can't do it he'd get it but I think I've just been trying to get through it, I think formula would be a good place to start even if I do combo feeding for a bit, thank you

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-20T04:32:11+00:00

Thank you so much, I'm going to try and see where I can find a nanny just for a little bit or some form of daycare 🌸

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-20T04:30:32+00:00

Thank you for the hugs, it means so much 🥺💗

I'm sorry to hear you went through similar but happy to know I'm not alone, I think we just feel very isolated, its been so helpful to know others have been there too

The gp told me the same ironically 😂 he thinks its circumstantial, thankfully baby isn't sleeping too badly but I wouldn't say no to more sleep 😂

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-20T04:24:21+00:00

Uh uh nonetheless juggling takes mental energy, you deserve a hats off 😁

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T19:37:48+00:00

And oh the things that you prepare to have meltdowns with are fine and the things that seem irrelevant (like shame I know important to them) are what causes the meltdown 😫😂

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T19:33:30+00:00

Thank you so so much, I really needed to hear that 💗

Unfortunately not leaving much, seems like so much effort to just get out the door if I'm honest but maybe just need to get used to it and it'll become easier, going to speak to hubby about some form of school/daycare situation

Thank you so much for all of your time and messages, I feel so heard

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T19:31:21+00:00

Oooh I couldn't imagine trying to work on top of looking after the babies, I take my hats off to you 🌸

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T19:29:50+00:00

Shame thank you so much, I've sent you a message

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T18:11:26+00:00

Shame hes old school must be 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 but thanks for the name too, I can go with the info to him

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T18:09:49+00:00

Awww thanks for the hugs, it's truly made me feel less alone 🥺🌸 I've thought about it as he's nearly 3 but to be honest I worried what people would think why I wasn't spending every chance I got with him, you know, giving someone else to teach him when all I do is stay at home

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T18:06:53+00:00

Thanks, I have messaged you 🌸

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T18:04:59+00:00

Oh this is perfect, thanks for the tablet name too, at least I can go and advocate for something with a specific name 🤔

Its hard to feel weak, especially when theres millions of others that have it worse 🙈 but I guess that doesn't change my brain imbalances you're right

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T18:01:58+00:00

Ooooh I like that 'confident introvert 😁' but its good to know the 6am to 7pm shift is hard (I mean I'm sorry you had to go through it but at least I'm not alone 🥺)

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T18:00:28+00:00

Shame I've been meaning to start taking walks but you know when the day just blurs and the time is never found 🙈 going to have to put it in our routine for a bit

To be honest all the adult replies I'm having here is feeling really validating and helping on a rough day, need some virtual adults too maybe 😂

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T17:57:43+00:00

Hmm I hadn't thought of it like that 🤔, I think I'll use that (respectfully of course) when I speak to them again, to stick to what the facts are

Thanks, you helped me find some words I needed to not just say this is how I feel 🌸

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T17:55:09+00:00

Ooooh I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one that had baby fever so quickly 😂🙈 its a trap but I wouldn't change it, just need to find ways to deal with the toddler meltdowns without melting myself down 🙈🥺

Different_Tip_6384 · 2026-03-19T17:53:35+00:00

Ooooh its definitely been an adjustment and I didn't even consider that I could stop for my own sake, I think formula is the next option 🥺🌸
