Should I talk to my Dr. ?

Question

I am sad, lonely, overwhelmed, and have anxiety. I keep trying to get up and do things but it doesn't help. I feel like my life is crumbling and I dont know why. I have a great husband, wonderful kids, good health. I have a good life, So why am I so unhappy. I dont fear that I will hurt my kids or anything but should call her now or just wait. I still have 4 weeks till my visit with my Dr.

Answer

Update. I went to the dr. Today I got some meds and a long list of therapist. I also got "homework" to go out on date night once a week.

Answer

I feel EXACTLY the way you feel. I'm going to the Dr. Today. I don't want to take meds though.

Answer

I def feel you on the anxiety. I've had it all my life and was medicated before I got pregnant and didn't feel like I needed it anymore when I was pregnant but now with a newborn, I've needed now more than ever but worried to take it since I'm breastfeeding

Answer

Get help. I felt the same and didn't b/c I didn't think it was textbook depression. Doc missed it too - turns out I was spiraling into postpartum PTSD (more commonly discussed now, but not 6 years ago when I had my first). It was 15 months before I got help and I only just got to the point of being able to TTC again this past Fall.
