Re: Putting this out there
To be honest, if you make it through without at least one break down, I will consider you some sort of freak of nature. Looking back, I don't even recognize myself in the crazy hormonal, sleep deprived creature that I was those first two weeks or so. I literally took wild, blind swings at my husband with one arm while holding the baby in the other arm because he was trying to take him from me while I was having an utter melt down over him not being able to nurse. It was scary.
fenton is a whore. a dirty FIL sperm in her vagina whore.
Angie, I would be happy to share. And really, the emotions run high at this time for everyone, regardless. The thing I wish is that I didn't hide it from everyone. I honestly think that made it worse.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
yeah, and I knew about PPD and things like that but I didn't realize there was PPOCD. And I didn't even realize what I was doing would be classified as such. I just thought I was being weird. Then I started noticing a pattern that it intensifies when I experience letdown from nursing and I know that happens because of a hormone surge, so it all started coming together. but even then I hid it. But now it is happening in public.
I was in an elevator, heard someone coming down the hallway and seized up emotionally and started panicking if the door wasn't going to close before she got there. It's like all my muscles tense and I freeze.
WInger I hope acknowledging it and doing something proactive about it has made you feel more in control already.
I think talking is going to help. I have been feeling this shame and I know I shouldn't and I appreciate you all. SEEEESTERS (and brother, but not like sperm donor brother)
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this Winged. I had depression issues when I went back to work and I hid it from everyone but Lorne because I was so ashamed at how weak I felt. When I finally admitted to others that I wasn't okay I got so much better. You'll get through this and be okay. I'm sending you some internet hugz.
