Seeing the Dr. tomorrow.
It's my 6 week pp appointment anyway, but I am going to be spilling my guts to him about how bad my depression and anxiety have become since the baby has been born. 
I hate this. I feel like a bad person b/c i'm so snappy and angry lately.
I am sinking below the water, you guys. not good.
Re: Seeing the Dr. tomorrow.
It'll be okay, Missy. And I'm glad you plan to talk to your doctor about how you're feeling. And you are NOT a bad person at all.
(((((((hugs)))))))
I'm so sorry Missy. I'm glad you are seeing the Dr though and plan to be honest with him. You are not a bad person. Not even close. You have a lot going on right now and throw the hormones in there and forget it!
Do what you need to, to get yourself better. ((HUGS))
I'm glad you're seeing the doctor! Don't worry! This is all totally normal and totally fixable! I promise!

I'm glad you're going to talk to your doctor about it and I hope you feel better soon.
You are asking for the help you need. I'm pretty sure this makes you the opposite of a bad person.
I hope everything goes well today. ((missy))
Big hugs Missy. That was probably the worst thing about having two so close... I don't think your body/hormones get enough time to 'recover', and it just compounds.
Things have been better for me this time.
I'm sure you will get some good help tomorrow.
I'm around if you need to chat.
You'll get through this! It's excellent that you are going to the doctor. Hang in there and vent whenever you need to
((MISSY))
Daycare is SO exhausting!

One more day, Missy. You can get through today and then tomorrow you'll be on your way to feeling better.
I am sorry you're feeling like this. Hang in there, and call in support as you need it. We are all here to listen! You can always email me too. nestjaylea at gmail dot com
I'm clinging to this, lhc. I am clinging to your promise!
When I go out to shop or something, I don't want to come home. I love my kids so much, but I feel like they deserve better b/c I'm just so out of it. I'm angry and bitter and tired and depressed and just feel likeshit. I don't want to deal with any type of responsibility anymore. The thought of "having" to do anything pushes me to the edge of my rocker! I just want to sleep. Sleep my days away and wake up when it's 'normal' around here again. My husband is carrying the brunt of nighttime BS b/c I just shut down and say eff it! And then i feel guilty all the time b/c I'm not being a supportive partner with him during hte nights. AFterall, he is going to work in the mornings and needs sleep too!
I just want to hide my face in my pillows and bed and HIDE from all of this!
fuhk.
I have intimate knowledge of all of your feelings missy. Just reading it brought back a big flood of emotions and made me so sad for you.
I'm not going to lie... these feelings still sneak in every now and then, but I have an awesome team of people behind me. This helps me tremendously!
The first step in this process is always the hardest. Saying it to someone almost feels impossible. But you can do it... I'm glad you practiced on us.
Worst case - just print what you just said and hand it to the doctor.
((more hugging))
Oh Missy. You are not a bad person. You are a Mom who loves her kids and needs some help. It's going to get better. Your H is just doing what a Dad does when he loves his family and he needs help, I'm sure he sees that.
My H is OOT all the time and I never asked him for help when he was here bc he had his job and I had mine. A few months ago I snapped and just handed him G in the middle of the night and walked out. I'm exhausted and fragile and angry and I needed help. I'm glad I asked him for it bc we're partners and that's the point.
You're going to be ok and so will your kids. I'm glad you're going to talk to your doctor. Good luck.
Ugh, sweetie, I hope you feel better. Lay it all on the doc, ok? Don't hold back.
BIG HUGS
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
