I can relate im feeling alone too. Im the opposite though im starving for interaction w others. Whats making you down

I'm sorry your feeling this way. It's the depression it can get you down like that. I feel so alone also. My family are not supportive at all. I'm so sick of being judged by my family and by people who don't know shit about having depression and anxiety.

I hope it turns around for you. I know what it's like to be surrounded by people and still feel alone.

I'm sorry you're feeling empty. I feel the same way lately. Very anxious and depressed. I know that's not very helpful. But you're not alone.

I have 2 teens 14 and 16. Being a mother is so challenging at every age. They definitely can bring out the best and worst in you in a matter of minutes.

I hope you can find a reason to smile today. I'm here if you want to talk. Hang in there

It is hard when your spouses or other family don't understand (or even seem to care to). I am older and have been through some very bad times...some therapy....

What I can tell you is that for me I did finally find the right med. (Some people can manage without.....because of things I do still have to deal with I do better to stay on mine.) I went from feeling lonely, depressed, and feeling like I had nothing to offer (keeping quiet , trying not to bother anyone and deal with it myself.........NOT a good idea by the way)

I learned to look at people. There are so very many sad and lonely people....struggling with all sorts of issues. I work around people... I started to simply smile or say a friendly hello to others . (Of course now I have graduated to an actual conversation at times and am now WAY TOO CHATTY. Hubby threatens to shut me up with duct tape........He is as compassionate and understanding as your hubby I would guess. lol)

I think you will be glad you have come onto this site DS. I have found several new friends (actually got another friend of mine to come here as well) For me, it helps especially when feeling so isolated to reach out and share with others who have gone through or are going through the same things. (Gives us some sort of validation that we DO struggle......but that WE CAN GET PAST this.)

I would say reach out to others (on here is a good start) , try to take a little time for you (I am guilty of ignoring this one myself....this is when I get more miserable and overwhelmed) and hang on.

PS Get a hug from the two little ones that will help (provided it is not after they have just done a fingerpaint mural on your wall. lol) Or maybe get a helpful hand from hubby.

I wish you all the best

I am sorry for how you are feeling. I have suffered with depression and anxiety since I was a young child. I didn't get professional help until I was in my mid thirties. I would suggest you talk to your psychiatrist and inquire about taking a different type of medication. Not all of them cause you to be drowsy. Sometimes it takes trying several different medications and dosages before the doctor finds the right one for you. Ask your doctor to refer you to a therapist or counselor.

We are all alone, together in this world. We are all together, alone in this world. We are unique and therefore alone in our uniqueness though surrounded by people all around us. Though we feel alone, there are holy angels all around us so we aren't ever truly alone.

We all feel lonely at times, misunderstood, uncared for, uncared about, bored, disappointed, wantimg different. These are just feelings. Feelings change throughout the day. It is our actions that matter. Our feelings follow our actions. Our actions follow our thoughts. What we think and why we think our thoughts is important.

Sounds like your husband isn't understanding what you truly need at the moment. Maybe share it with him using different wording so he will be more receptive. Or at a time when he is able to listen if he is a busy man.

Motherhood is a very lonely profession at times yet there a billions of mothers all over the planet so you are not alone in any mother probs at any age of your children now or in the future. All mothers of the world join hands together with you and with each other in a common bond of understanding and experiences. We are all in this motherhood together. Though many of us walk in it alone in our area of the world. We are not really alone. There is another mother just down the street from us.

It usually takes two years after stopping nursing for the female body to recover completely back to health after childbirth and nursing an infant. Hormone changes and post partum depression can linger. Good sleep. Plenty of nutritious meals and good vitamins to help on your recovery to pre-pregnancy health and vitality is essential to get back on your feet.

If you are struggling with two little ones-- find a play time outside the home, or library storytime, or sports to get them involved in, or a book with new activities that you can do with them both inside and outside. Make ordinary chores fun--my 3 yr old used to help rinse dishes and put them in the drying rack. She like "catching all the fish and sharks in the sink" and putting them in the drying rack. Get a nap when they nap. Extra sleep, a walk outside, and good food always helps wonders.

Exhausted--get a babysitter and have a break. Can't afford lots of this--find a mom's co-op to exchange babysitting etc or start one.

Some meds can really mess with the head and body (some have bad side effects--including suicidal thoughts as a side effect) when sometimes we just need to talk things out or get more food and sleep. If finished nursing--more water is needed on a daily basis. Balanced nutrition and good vitamins. Boost your life with a joke book to make you laugh again

Find pleasure in simple things. Laughter is essential to recover health. One man had a terminal illness and only wanted to watch funny movies in the hospital. He laughed himself out of the hospital and back to health.

Life is for living to the full. You get to choose how you want to live it or how you want to change it for the better. You get to guide and lead your little ones in their exploration, wonder, interest, and excitement for life. They have such a zest and energy--tap into it-run with their curiosity and make each day fun. It is worth it. So are you!!

If your self-talk is negative then you will be unhappy for as long as it continues. My suggestion to you is to be CONSCIOUSLY aware of your self-talk, and avoid at all costs negatively so.

There is no need to replace negative self-talk with positive self-talk, simply be aware of negative self-talk and, avoid entertaining it anymore and, the end result? You will be at peace with yourself.

Find internal peace first and, the joys of life will flow thereafter. Remember darling, happiness is an inside job, not an outside one as many of us have been led to believe and, fallen into the trap of.

Hey there! I am so sorry you are going through this. Have you considered that this may be primarily depression caused by a shift in your hormones? I would highly recommend that you talk with your obstetrician or gynecologist about a potential hormone imbalance and postpartum depression. You wouldn't necessarily need to take medication they may be able to recommend supplements to assist.
