I'm starting to wonder if something is actually wrong with me. I'm beginning to think that I may be depressed. I don't mean depressed like, oh poor me my life is horrible and I don't want to go on; I mean I'm in a major funk. I have no energy. At first I thought this was just pregnancy fatigue, but it's something else. I have no desire or no energy to do the things I usually do. I haven't brought the kids to the playground or museum or the indoor playspace we usually go to in months. These are things we usually do on a weekly basis. I didn't re-join my usual playgroup this spring nor did I sign the girls up for another session of Gymboree, even though they love going there. I have snapped at Lindsey on more than one occasion which has then caused me to burst into tears because I felt so terrible. The house is an absolute disaster. I mean it's really gross and I have no motivation to clean it, which isn't like me. I have little interest in playing with the kids. Many days when DH is home I tell him I don't feel well and escape to my bed and pull the covers over my head and don't come out for a few hours. I could probably sleep for 15 hours a day. Poor DH is being seriously neglected in the love making department because at night all I want to do is lay in bed and not talk to anyone and watch tv and go to sleep. It's taken me a while to recognize this but I think there is something wrong here. I don't like myself right now because I'm not behaving like myself. I'm not writing this so that people can feel sorry for me I just needed to get it all down, get it out. I have an appt with my OB this week and I plan to talk to her about this but I'm afraid I'm either going to wimp out or she won't take me serious enough. I just hate being a lump. I want to be fun again. Where did I go?
Sugar and Spice
About Me
- Name: Leslie
- Location: New England, United States
Sugar and spice and everything nice that's what little girls are made of. Well I'd have to argue that there is a lot more spice than sugar in our home and too much spice is NOT always nice. My poor hubby is out numbered four to one (even the cat is a girl). I'm the mom of two beautiful little girls and I spend my days trying to teach them to become wonderful, honest, caring, intelligent human beings. Oh, wait they already are all those things.

I have no experience with depression.Did you feel this way when pregnant with the girls?
I hope your OB will take you seriously.BIGHUG.
PS:post on the dio abt this.
I felt this way when I first got pregnant with the last one. The OB put me on Zoloft. It helped.
You should go to your doctor and tell her/him all this. It does sound like depression. I would get a professional opinion.
I'm sorry. I don't have many words of advice, but I can only imagine with two little ones and being pg it would be hard to sort out what is really a problem and what is normal emotions and hormones. Good luck, and please don't ignore it, ok?
I agree. I would definitely make a call to your OB and see what they suggest. I honestly think that you are pretty overwhelmed right now, so a little depression is to be expected. Please let us know what your Doc says.
