Dealing with Postpartum Depression

Quote From: katherinep

    I like you suffer with depression.  My question for you is:  Why don't you reach out for help?  Icould not emagine what you are faced with daily.  I totaly feel for you and want you to know that.  I would say give yourself time to get over it .  But hay its been 19 years.  Don't you think its time?
It is tough to feel this way day in and day out-there are days now where living is just a burden.  Especially here lately-my daughter has been a handful lately and there are days I just don't want to deal with it anymore.  I have been through years of counseling and medication and tried to be happy, but sometimes I think there's more to it than just having kids.  I would love to feel good-I don't know how that feels anymore-and the damage this has done to my daughter as well.  Most days, I don't feel this burden will ever be lifted off my shoulders-and the feedback I get from family doesn't help-to them, it is my fault.  So I do the best I can with what I have-but there are many days especially here lately that I pray for this to be over-I can't see the point of living if I am going to be miserable the rest of my life.  I don' t know what happened-having kids has totally and permanently thrown my body out of whack-and some of these "experts" should know that for some of us it never ends.
