Feeling lost, depressed

[Sassygirl]

I am in a similar situation. I had a baby 10 month ago, the big plan was for hubby to take off parental leave for 6 months to help me manage 5 toddlers plus a newborn. Well that lasted about 6 weeks and I couldn't handle it anymore. It was WAY too much on me emotionally and physically. I had a tear I needed repairing as well as a I had PPD that I was trying to fight. Hubby and I were together WAY too much as well. We almost divorced no lie. After beginning therapy, and medication we found a way to make it work financially for me to take 6 months off and just enjoy my own 2 children and for me to get better.
Unfortunately now or fortunately depending on how you look at it, money has become an issue and we really need my income again so I am re opening.
I understand how you feel and its tough. I have upped my Vitamin D and B12 and also have bought myself a "Happy Light" from Costco that I use every day. It seems to be helping. Also, getting out alone or going and having a nice 10 minute soak in some bath salts with my book before bed really helps.
It will get better but this time of the year is just the worst. The weather is crappy and our finances from the holidays are too!
