Renee-Marie - December 29

seven months after giving birth that I am experiencing depression? I'm a working mother, and I made arrangements with my employer to work less hours, take a slightly lower pay, and change my responsibilities, but it bothers me that I cannot do the same work I was doing before. Someone that sits next to me is doing it. She's single and doesn't have children, and I find myself feeling envious that she's doing what I consider to be more interesting work. I will be working three days a week very soon (Right now it is 4). I feel fulfilled in my personal life, I feel whole now that my child is with us, but I am more than just a wife and mother. I find myself asking questions in my mind that take me in circles. I get sad, I want to cry.... on really bad days I want to drive myself into a wall. anyone out there? help me please.

It sounds like it could be depression. Have you told your husband or a close family member or friend about how you are feeling? Everyone has bad days and I even have days where I feel like jumping off a bridge (but I know I wouldn't do it). Anyways, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I have no advice other than to talk to someone about this and maybe you will feel better. Good luck.

What mandee said! Maybe if you have a trusted girlfriend you can go out with and talk to about all of this it would help. Sometimes just voicing the run-around thoughts helps... if not you should probably see your doctor and see what they say about it.
