i am just thoroughly depressed today. i feel like disappearing from the face of the earth. i feel so down in the dumps. i cannot really share here what is bothering me. but for now, that is it. i just feel like crying and crying and crying and crying. when my baby cries, i cry with her. i don't want to go out either. i just to stay inside our room and be with my baby. but sometimes, i can't hear her cry because i am soooo lost in my thoughts. i don't want to eat either. do you ever have days like this? what do you do? take care all and God bless you! happy mylotting!

It could happened on everyone. But don't let yourself on upset. You may crying, even screaming. Release you emotional feelings. But remember that you have a baby. Your baby needs you. So you must eat or you'll sick. There's no advantage by torturing yourself. Just do believe that The God has a good plan for you. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Well i think you should get used to the things that make you depressed. That's how i beat my depression. Before, i couldn't take it but i realized that i can't fight it so i joined and do what i'm supposed to do just to feed my depression. Then i just realized that it doesn't look as bad as i thought it was. Next time, when that depressant will attack me again, i will be more than ready to face it and i will be depressing depression this time. lol!

Hey, Oh, I really feel sorry for you, you poor things. Just try and cheer up, just try and look at the bright side of life. At least you have your baby and it is alive and well, but you must eat as well, you will feel much better. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

i do sometimes feel like that , in order to get out of the depression,i just talk it out to my friends and go out. you cannot let it out until you try to say it to your friends, it's a way of releasing the feelings within us that was kept.

Yes I have days like that... sometimes even weeks... First of all I will say a little private pray to God, giving me strenght to keep forcus on my son... Yes I have been so overwhelmed at times where I have zoned out and didnt here my son crying.. Does that make me a bad person? No I am human, everyone has days where they end up lost in their tears, and not focusing whats around them... Second of all I will get a hold of a good friend or two to help me through the hard time... to sometimes point me in the right direction... This does not always work... but it helps.. If you do not have anyone to talk to and you are really upset about something there is always two people that will listen... God and your baby... granted the child may be too young to say anything too... but when you look into your baby's eyes and see the light shining brightly, it will make some of the depression go away...talking will clam the baby down, and also clam you down at the same time..

Sounds to me like you need a rest. Do you have good friends or relations who you would trust to look after baby for a weekend? We love to do it and it is is fun, so long as we can give baby back to Mummy after a few days! haha It is many years ago now, but when our children were babies they wore us to a frazzle with their 60/24/7 attention and a couple of good night's sleep and some quality time 're-charged our batteries'. It's a tough job being a Mum but I'm sure you will get through it.

Have you been checked for postpartum depression? This could be a factor with you. I think that you have a problem and it would be good to be checked out. Depression is a medical illness and a chemical imbalance and can be treated. I would definitely talk to a doctor if it continues there is no reason you should have to suffer with this.

I think some serious issues are really bugging you. Do not lose heart and try to find happiness in your child's smile and little mischief. Everybody goes from these kind of situations in life when we really want to end up our lives but we have responsibilities to fulfill like you have a responsibility to really take care and up bring your little princess. I hope this phase will soon be over.Cheer up buddy.

Everyone has days like this and you need to let all the tears out get up and take a shower. Keep yourself active and take care of your baby. When the baby is sleeping do things that will bring yourself out of this depression. If you have hobbies or just cook a good meal, bake, watch a funny movie or listen to upbeat music. You did't share why you are depressed but if it has anything to do with a guy think about the bad things of the relationship and that will motivate you to get angry and you will then snap out of the depression because you know you should be treated better and deserve better. If it is about anything other than a guy then focus on the good things in your life, like your baby. She needs you and she will feel your disconnect and that is not good. Remember your little girl needs you and she is now the #1 thing in your life. When I'm depressed I usually "Pray" alot that helps me get out of it fast. So please smile and be happy for what you have in your life. God Bless and please let me know how you are doing in a couple of days.

I have depression so I know that this too is a problem that I face on a daily basis and the best advice that I can give without knowing what is getting you down is to count your blessings and thankful for what you have. This will help you see things in a somewhat of a positive light. I know that life can be really hard and giving up is something that shouldn't be on our minds. You have to stay strong for the ones that love and care for you and keep in mind that things do indeed get better. Crying is actually good, it's better to let the emotions and feelings out then keep them bottled up inside. I hope things do look up for you soon. Take care and I hope I helped out.
