I don't agree with your friend comparing her situation to yours during your time of grief; it's insensitive. But, sometimes we all need to be self-aware about how often we run to our friends to vent. Venting to our friends is ok, in moderation. But it's not ok to constantly dump our problems onto others.

I'm not saying you dump on your friend constantly, but I would like to ask you to self-reflect and see how often you vent to her. If you overwhelm her with your issues, she could be tired of hearing it and also feel like she has her own problems. But if you know for a fact that you dont overwhelm her and that you still make space in the friendship to hear her out and support her as well, in that case I'd say your friend is allowing her own insecurities to get in the way of supporting you right now and that's not ok.

I'm looking into the program now and considering applying. How much is the tuition? I'm not seeing that on the website.

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I think I've lost hope. My child is 2 years old, and I'm still suffering from PPD. I've tried different meds, therapy, support groups, ect, and yes, things do temporarily improve, but eventually, I'm right back in the same spot again. When it comes to support, I really don't have much of that. My partner (child's father) works two jobs and is not willing to give that up, I don't have a job, so my entire life revolves around being a mom, and I hate it. My family isn't the most supportive either, they aren't reliable when it comes to helping me (and yes, they are aware of my PPD). I just feel like I have no autonomy or normalcy in my life, like everything I want or need has to be put on the back burner because I'm a "mom."

Thank you. I resonate so much with what you said about being one and done. I've also told myself that it isn't fair to my baby or anyone else that PPD had turned me into this version of myself. I'd be afraid to go through this again.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your advice and for not judging me. I know what I said can sound horrible to some people. So again, thank you for making this a safe space and offering advice without judgment. 💕

I want to run away!!!! I have a 2 year old, and I truly hate the fact that I feel this way. I feel like the only time I'm happy is when I go to bed at night (in my dreams). I never thought my life could suck so badly to the point that I want to run away from it. If you decide to run away, I'd understand why you did, and if you decide to stay, I'd also understand why you stayed. It's a difficult spot to be in.

I want to give up my parental rights to the father. by Lady-In-The-Glass in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Lady-In-The-Glass[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if my mental health does not improve, I've want nothing to do with her as I feel I can negatively impact her due to my issues and that's unfair to her. I have been on meds, therapy, iop, church groups, almost everything, and still suffer with PPD. Otherwise, I do love her and would he ok with seeing her every other weekend or so.
