Depressed
Posted: 02-10-07 15:32pm

Maybe it is still post partum I dunno, I just feel depressed and feel like crying and I really dont know why, I was fine earlier. Me and my friend were supposed to havea girls night but I just dont feel like doing anything, jason was asking how long post partum depression lasts, I guess hoping one day I snap out of it and act normal. Then iwas just sitting on the couch and hes like are u still in that depressed mood, I asked why first then his answer was because its bringing me the f**k down. So I didnt bother answerin him, then evidently im annoying him by just staring at the wall. Or at nothing in particular. He asked if I needed to go to the drs, didnt bother answering that either because its not like I can get to the dr, we only have one car , he hasnt even filled out the stuff for the insurance claim on my car at all, I started it but he has to do the rest I dunno all the info. I dont even know that hes gonna be getting off to take the kids to get there shots tuesday. So me tryin to get an appt would be pointless. I dont know if I will be able to go to my post partum checkup either, I gave him the dates last week so he could get em off and he hasnt yet. When ive been to the drs for colds and stuff they have a paper u fill out asking previous medical history etc. I check the box that says ive suffered from depresion in the past. They have one that askes have u felt hopeless in the past 2 weeks, checked yes. The drs never bother reading those I guess cuz they never asked about it, but I dont feel like talking to the stupid military drs on base nor do I wanna see a therapist but there only problem solver is to shove meds down your throat. I just I dunno it suckes being depressed cuz I hate feeling like this but then it also seems to annoy jason. But ugh he doesnt even help out at all, even on the weekends he doesnt, he goes to bed at 9 during the week and 10 on the weekend. So im stuck till 3am with a screaming baby then gotta beup early with joseph while hes still in bed. Then he acts like I shouldnt be tired, hes like what are you tired or something , duh I dont even go in the room until jordynnes asleep so I dont bother him,. I asked him twice to give joseph a bath before he went to bed cuz he got dinner in his hair, well I ended up giving joseph a bath and well he watched jordynne. But it seems like he gets annoyed when she cries so im hesitant to leave him with her when shes cranky and stuff. So pretty much depresed and no one to talk to . No help whatsoever with the kids . Everything just makes it that much more worse and I hate it.

Im sorry you feel depressed. I was severly depressed before pregnancy. I had to take 60mg of cymbalta! I had to quit it during pregnancy but it wasnt that bad. Then as soon as I had her. I was crying about everything while I was in the hospital. If she cried, puked, anything...I cried!! Before I left the hospital, my doctor perscribed me lexapro(sp?). I have no appatite and I fight wth joey constantly. He ignores me all the time!! He says 'huh' or 'what' to eveything I say. And sometimes I have to say his name twice to get his freaking attention!! Oh and he also health forum about getting no sleep but yet he slept throught half my effing labor!!!! He has had more sleep than me for the past week!! Everything he does, it angers me off! And he seems to be doing it on purpose. What im trying to say is.....Your not the only one going through this. It sucks but hopefuly it all gets better. For me and you both Smile

I just hate how he states its my fault im depressed and its my fault I dont know how to deal with it oh and its myparents fault as well too, sorry I had a not so great childhood and my parents made me feel hated, but he knows my whole history. All he can do is call me a psycho b***h and an problem. So yeah that just makes me so much happier ugh I just I cant stand doing this all the time I hate feeling like id rather be dead then this miserable.

I am so sorry that everything is happening to you. You really need some extra support. Do you have other support there? It sounds like you do have some friends. What do they say about everything??

I have read so much about him and I am very concerned for you. I hope this doesn't sound mean but I would be depressed too if I had to experience everything completely alone and some of the other emotional stuff you are dealing with him. I deal with some things with my husband, but it's due to mental health issues.

Is there a possibility of packing up and moving back home, even if just temporarily. Would that be financially possible? Would you have support from family?

Please take care of yourself.

Guys telling her to run from her problems isnt going to solve anything.


D... You need to sit down and have a serious talk with him.. Tell him *exactly* how you feel, and then tell him if he doesnt change, your living situation will. dont just up and take off. Remember those babies need a daddy too, even *if* hes immature and inconsiderate.

The last time she had a problem with him she said she talked to him. I think she has gave him fair warning to start acting right.

he's bluffing so you'll stay. If he can't be bothered with the kids now then why would he want full custody?

He toldme we had jordynne because I wanted another kid so I guess he lied when he told me he wanted another baby too. Makes me feel bad for her that he never wanted her . When you agree to have kids its amutual agreement from waht I understood

I'm not trying to be mean but people who complain about the same thing constantly and do nothing about it drive me nuts.

Sit him down and tell him "you have x amount of time to shape up or i'm gone"

they will not give him custody of the kids as he lives in a diff couuunry right now. Get your stuff in order, see what kind of help you can get and do something instead of complaining about him all the time. Go into counseling,.Something.

Wow, diane. This is an ongoing issue with this guy. I'm not trying to be a b*tch but he sounds like an @ss. Men are always stupid and selfish but he takes the cake. I don't even know what advice to give because i'm beginning to think that I need to leave my husband. He's a person and he's selfish. Honestly I think that if I had more money that I would have left him already.

Yeah, financially impossible to leave right now but man im contemplating it when my parents get here, I try and talk to him but it ends up in an argument instead of a talk and then hes like im saying the same crap over and over, well duh he hasnt changed anything for me to bring up anything else. Although today he was being nice, he watched the kids and my friends while we went tothe gym and worked out and went to the commisary and the px. Hes giving joseph a bath now too. So I dunno blah

He is in the army, right? You can leave. And it will not be a problem. He cannot get custody by 'saying' something about you being a 'bad parent'. There are courts that require proof of cases where it is he-said/she-said issues. In fact, that is what a court of law is for when it comes to divorce and child custody.

You would only need to speak with his .C.O to get things to change.

I understand you are hurting right now. You are a long way from home and have very little support and just had a baby. Of course you would feel down! You need to take a pro-active approach to what is going on though.

Get yourself together - you cannot make someone else help (even parent). Get as much of a schedule down as you can and figure out what you are willing to put up with in your relationship and what you absolutely will not tolerate. Then go from there.

Good luck!

I know he cant do much other then say things but, in the past I used to have an eating disorder and cut myself so I have scars on my arm and he is trying to use that against me. But all in all we just need like a sitter to go out and talk about things cuz we never seem to get talking done at the house. Ive been hanging out and working out with my friend, wich excersize helps with depression so its a good thing, im thinking about when I go to get birth control I will ask about the depression thing/ im callin the clinic tomorow to ask about if I can get bc tuesday even though my post partum checkup is on friday im past 6 weeks post partum already just had to reschedule my checkup since I dont have my car. But tues we will be at the clinic for the kids shots so I wanna be able to get my stuff done then too so we wont have to worry about trying to get off to get back to the dr again so soon . I dont even know when I will get my car back , jasons still doing the paperwork and dumb me when they asked ifi needed a rental car told em no cuz we have hubbys car. So oopsie but jason doesnt know about that or hed kill me. He wants me to learn to drive his car and keeps gettin gmad cuz I dont want to and it starts an argument etc he has a stick shift but its really old a 91 and german and the numbers arent even on the knob. I drove it about as far as the gate and we had it in neutral and I went to go and put it in reverse twice so I freaked out and told him to drive and had my foot on the break the entire time. The gate guy was laughing at me. But that is why I dont wanna learn in his car. I just want my car so im able to do something, just sitting here doesnt help the depression at all.
