Feeling Sorry for Myself Monday

- I've been having a period every 2 weeks. There is nothing NOT sucky about that.

- I'm pretty sure I haven't seen the sun in weeks. I want my bright, southern sun back.

- Chances are good, I may never have a daughter.

- I told my husband last night that I think I'm depressed and while he was sympathetic, he didn't really have any way to HELP me or much to say.

- Miney hasn't been sleeping at night. He's up almost every hour. I even tried to give him a formula bottle in desperate hopes that it would help him sleep longer. Apparently it tastes like crap - according to the look on his face.

- My husband disappointed me yesterday in a big way.

- I haven't lost any significant weight in quite some time.

- I ordered 3 new shirts from Old Navy and have to send them back because they're 1) a little too small and 2) see through. Suck.

I've been thinking about the psych issue ever since you first mentioned your husband didn't believe in it. I don't know if this is what I'd do if it were my HUSBAND, but with my PARENTS who don't believe in psych stuff, I don't tell them.

I know it's totally different with a husband, though, and I don't know what I'd do. I THINK, though, that I might just say to him, "I know you don't believe in this stuff, but I feel awful and hope it will make me feel better, so I'm going to try it."

period every 2 weeks + a baby who isn't sleeping = enough to make anyone depressed. add actual depression to the mix... i can't even imagine how hard it is. any chance you can get in to see someone before november? talking to someone may help, or at least make you feel like you're on the path to get help?

Constance - that's pretty much exactly what I said. That I know he doesn't really believe in it (which, surprisingly, he denied) but that I think I have to do something. I seemed to get through to him some, but I'm not sure he really gets it.
I won't tell my parents either, my mom can't keep a secret to save her life.

Alice - I don't know. In 9 days we are leaving here to drive home, which will take about 10 more days. We will get home on, or about, the 24th of Oct and by then it's already almost November and, iirc, my appt is early Nov. I am still rEALLY hopeful that just getting home will help a LOT. Maybe it will, maybe not...

Aww, here's a HUGE hug!! It sounds like things are pretty glum right now. I hope that going home does help you out. I'm here if you ever need to send an e-mail or something. I'm willing to listen any time.

Me too on the periods. Total suckage. I hope that going home helps some.

All this stuff together can definitely NOT be helping the depression. I hope you're right that going home will be enough to hold you over until your appointment.
