I am very very withdrawn at the moment. I am married with a small cuddly kid and normally am social and affectionate with them.
At the moment I am pushing my husband away and am really not myself. I dont mean to be like this but its how I feel and I dont know how to change it. Is this normal? I often cancel going out type things but am just not even wanting to be around my family. He doesnt understand whats going on and often says really unhelpful things while trying to BE helpful. He seems to take my brokenness as his personal failure and doesnt understand me at all. I dont want to push him away I love him. But I just have trouble with being close and he wants to cuddle me to make me feel better and I just want to be alone. Which is very unlike me, even depressed. Anyone hazard a guess? |

What your are describing, is additional depression symptoms. If you are not already receiving treatment, please do. Have your husband help you to find a counselor.
Until then, just keep trying, venting helps, writing can help, exercise helps a lot, Yoga is really good.... Find something that you can bring into your life that will help to externalize your feelings. Good luck |

I think you should talk to the psychologist about it.
Also having a child is a really major thing - you he is young - I don't know how young - but, young children are hard to care for. They take up a lot of energy and if you are already diagnosed with depression, well... depression takes away energy making it harder to be a parent at times. So it makes sense that this kind of thing can happen. Just realize the sooner you get working on making you feel better, the sooner you can ENJOY being a parent more often and the better off your kid will be too. I'm really glad you're looking for help in this. I've thought of having a kid here and there and the thought with depression is just so scary!! Keep in mind that depression can changes, and the symptoms you have can change. Mind have varied a lot since I've been diagnosed. Maybe you're overwhelmed right now, or maybe something else has changed, or maybe your hormones are just whacky for some reason - so best talk to your doctor =) __________________  Yesterday I was so clever, so I want to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
