Oh, and the weather blows in DC Jan-Mar. But you shouldn't have to forge through it and ignore it. <BR/><BR/>I felt similarly when my second child was a baby and I called my dr frantically. He called in a 1 week prescription to get me through until he could see me in the office. I also called in all the drop off playdates for my oldest that I was owed from fellow moms and made deals with my friends that were expecting to help them out too when their babies came. <BR/><BR/>And I designated every single freaking Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon as days off by myself or just me and newborn in order to temper the stress and tedium of Mon-Friday mommihood. My husband worked harder in addition to supporting the family, but this made our marriage stronger. I gave him a concrete way to make it better.<BR/><BR/>I will sincerely pray for you that this malaise goes away and that baby learns to sleep!!Jessica McFaddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126526402551793672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876497.post-46190607679274419492009-01-23T23:12:00.000-05:002009-01-23T23:12:00.000-05:00I know you said you don't have time for the dr., m...I know you said you don't have time for the dr., meds, therapy, journaling, etc...but you have also been thru this before so it's not like me saying "but it will make you a better mom/wife/etc." after is going to come as a surprise. So I won't. I'll just say that I totally 100% understand where you are coming from right now. I put it off for 2 years. I am doing all but the meds right now and facing reality SUCKS big time. I know I personally don't need my imagination running errands for me. You are not alone in your imaginative thoughts. Just tonight *if you don't mind my sharing*...I was driving home and thinking how I was going to go take my purse and the grocery bags into the house before taking the kids in *let them stay in the driveway while I do it, I know BAD MOM, right?* but then my imagination ran away with me and suddenly I am wondering if I taught the Girl (who's almost 11) enough about safety that she would know what to didn't come back out from the car cuz someone was in my house and stabbed me. Random, right? Not for me. This kind of stuff happens DAILY. It's scary and I hate it. So, please, don't feel you are alone in the strange thoughts or tendancies. But do DO something...dr, a close friend, journal, something...I'll be checking in on you.<BR/>xo<BR/>DanaButtercupyayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370920178411046494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876497.post-2352453962757052742009-01-23T11:41:00.000-05:002009-01-23T11:41:00.000-05:00Aw, man.

Better to get help now, while you have some "reserves"-- some energy, some will, some perspective-- than wait and have it get all-out crazy. <BR/><BR/>I went through this with #2. I have absolutely no advice, other than ignoring it really didn't work for me. I am not sure how I ever got dug out. But eventually, I did. <BR/><BR/>Thank goodness you see yourself clearly to know that you need some kind of something-- some kind of support.

Instead of pretending everything is okay when he comes home, let him know it's not. <BR/><BR/>And a call to your doc couldn't hurt either. <BR/><BR/>Please take care if yourself, V.Tiffany @ Lattes And Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113689419516484550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25876497.post-78561475240502811832009-01-23T08:35:00.000-05:002009-01-23T08:35:00.000-05:00I think you should talk to your dr.
