I don't want to do this anymore. I'm tired of being "sick". I'm tired of not being happy. I'm tired of not enjoying my life, my daughter, my boyfriend, my family. I just want to get better. I want to be normal. I hate this.

Do you know dooce.com ? This is a funny blog by a mom who suffered from postpartum depression to the point that she checked herself into a hospital when her daughter was three month old.

She has some great insights and maybe you'll also get a laugh.

Thank Doh.
I'll look at it. I actually did that. My daughter was 2.5 months old.

You remind me so much of myself a couple of years back. I really hope you feel better soon! I know it is hard, so very hard!

I'm doing a little better. The bad thoughts aren't as strong. I blocked my ex's emails and that helped. I had my P doc switch me to a new anti depressant/anxiety med, so I'm hoping that will start work over the next few weeks. Last night I went to my friends house and we had 6 people over and just played games and ate all night. It really helped. I've talked a lot to my best friend, my boy friend, my parents, and have been focusing a lot on my daughter and that seems to be helping as well.
I'm still taking life minute by minute, but I'm succeeding in each minute.
