Good news :)
I don't have PPD - yay! But my doctor wants me to set up times to leave Austin with people so I can get out of the house or take a nap or whatever. She thinks I am just feeling overwhelmed and fatigued for caring for a new baby....and said I am not alone in feeling the way I am, that it is very common, which made me feel really good. I'm very stubborn when it comes to accepting help....so my parents have agreed that they want to help me and I just need to let them. The doctor also wants me to see a counselor, but quite frankly, I don't want to - I just feel I have always been very open about my feelings to my friends and family members and getting those feelings out is half the battle...but in the near future, if I feel that getting time to myself isn't enough, then I will call the counsler she recommended....one thing at a time, right?
Thank you all so much for your kind words and your support!!
Re: Good news :)
I'm glad you went to the Dr just to make sure that you did/did not have PPD. It is always a good feeling to get confirmation either way. Try to get some time off and give yourself a break!!! Catch a movie, go to the spa, and give yourself sometime to just enjoy Austin. Who cares if you do everything right....and who says what is right anyway!! Just have fun with him!
