I am not sure what is going on. I have an 8 year old girl, a 17 month old boy and a 3 month old baby girl and I love them to death! But lately I have been so upset, for absolutely no reason. I work full time and while I am at work my day fine but I feel like as soon as I walk into my home I automatically just get upset to where I want to cry and when the weekend comes I just don't have the energy to do anything with my kids so we basically stay home in pj's all weekend. I don't even answer my phone because i am afraid someone will want to come over to visit. My husband does help out when he is around; he works crazy hours and A LOT of overtime. When he is home, he is falling asleep. My nasty att_tude is basically with my family and I don’t know why, they mean everything to me but I can’t help feeling overwhelmed most of the time. Why am I so moody and why do I keep crying? I feel like I take very good care of my family more because I HAVE TO not because I want to. Does any of this make sense? I have been miserable for weeks now and I don’t know who to talk to. HELP!

Hi there... well like you, I have a 3 month old baby girl. I think it sounds like you are experiencing a delayed form of postpartum depression. Your hormones are overwhelming and your life is very hectic. Is there anyway that you can lower your work hours?? Being a good mother is not only about taking care of the children well, but taking care of yourself too! How is your health? Are you eating good foods, not junk food or fast food? Are you taking vitamin supplements? You'd be amazed at how vitamins can really transform your mental and emotional and physical state. Don't worry about being in pjs all weekend... enjoy those moments with your children, and stop making yourself feel guilty for what you are NOT doing. What's better than making pancakes with your kids on a Saturday morning and popping in a movie afterwards? Enjoy this time, and don't feel guilty!

i know how you fele I was working 100-135 hours every two weeks and had 3 small children at home and i had no energy to do anything. I would make breakfast and than get them ready to go outside I would sit on the steps and watch them play in the pool and sandbox, I was spending time with them but also relaxing and gainging much needed energy. By doing this it kept the house clean and made them tired (no energy to destroy the house letting me reserve much needed energy). Than the next day i felt way better and more energetic and would tkae them for a long walk to get a special lunch. Gav eme exercise and once again let them burn energy, also taking them to the park to run around or take them to an empty field with a soccor ball is terrific. Its all about comming up with ways to spend time with the kids, letting the kids burn energy, being there with them, and just enjoying there company. I wish you all the best.

When you don't have enough progesterone you can feel that way, basically like premenstrual all the time. You could try some natural progesterone cream - it's a natural anti-depressant and will balance your hormones.
