Numb

All the time

I used to feel like this until I started filling up my cup, doing things that made me happy or doing things that made me feel like I feeling like im growing in life (reaching my life goals). I’m sorry you feel like that, it’s not a nice feeling. Have you tried doing things that make you happy ? (Or Fill up your cup?)

Hi Kadi, I feel this myself. Completely resonates with me, and not sure what to do exactly at my recent doctor. Check up she recommended that I take postnatal depression. Antidepression tablets coupled with some therapy sessions. I think the reason she suggested this was that she thought my mood was very low, and when she asked me if I was enjoying my baby, I honestly couldn’t answer it without bursting into tears , this is come a bit of an issue for me as I’ve had issues breastfeeding and general tiredness and feeling overwhelmed. I’ve collected the drugs but I’m a bit unsure as to whether I should take them and if I really need them or not. I’ll follow your post as I’ll be interested to hear what other people say. I hope you get some good advice and feel better soon, but definitely reach out and offer some help from your doctors if you aren’t feeling any better

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I mean, that's pretty much the definition of dysthymia

It comes and goes for me. Last weekend was bad. I did some girl time with friends and that helped quite a bit. I also scheduled a therapy appointment

I feel like that, too. It's my 3rd baby, and for the first time, I'm experiencing perinatal depression. My partner doesn't get it at all, which makes matters worse.

@Rhiana I can't find anything that makes me happy for more than a minute then I'm right back to square 1

Thank you all.
