its got to stop, the mood changes, the ups, the downs, they need to stop. i was doing what i thought was so well, for a few days, and all of a sudden it hits me again and im in a down. this ones bad. i can barely cope. i dont want to get out of bed, dont want to move. just want to sleep. dont want to try. i do baby sitting, and im at work tonight, but the babys in bed, which is good because my mood is so down i can barely handle him, can barely engage with him, and thats not fair for him. i have engaged with him all day, playing with him and taking him for walks, but it takes all i have to do those little things and not get frustrated tonight. i dont know, just wish i wasnt in a down, things would be easier when it came to baby sitting, if i wasnt so down, things would be okay.
how do i make it go away? how do i feel better? my boyfriend even notices im in a bad mood, and he doesnt really know what to do about it. no one knows what to do with it... i mean.. whats there to do. i dotn see my counselor till end of month now.. but i do see my doctor. i dont have a pdoc yet, cause i sort of said screw it and just going to have my doctor deal with my meds.
why am i here? whats the point? can i just disappear? hide in ym room and avoid the world around me, everyone and everything? just disappear for a while, go to sleep and not wake up till things are better?

For you to recognise the positives you mentioned is a precious thing.Keep reaching for that light. I admire that you are facing up to so much with such strength.The time ahead is yours to overcome and I can't say much more as it's your own unique story, as an individual and as a mother too.. in the end. Keep telling it and never give up.
All the best to you solo.
hes just the kid i babysit.
and yes, i try to see positrives but im really a negative person
Sorry. I had read yr stuff about babies and just thought you were a mother.
I feel a little stupid but the rest of it still thoughtful for an old fart like me.
That's on a good day though ! Ha
and yes very thoughtful.
I've baby sat before and I have two kids thankfully they are grown. To be honest though I really don't like children.
