Conversation with my husband

Him from in our bed honey why are you crying as I walk around crying and cleaning
Me no answer
Him come here honey
Me comes in the room
Him why are u crying
Me I’m depressed that’s all I’ve been doing is crying today
Him oh ok
Me walks out
Him love you
Me now bawling in the bathroom


( context earlier I sent him a text saying”I’m miserable I don’t even wanna be alive anymore and NO ONE UNDERSTANDS” and all I got back was I love you and I need you and that was the end of the conversation)

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way and that your husband didn’t react in the way that you needed him to.

I hope you find a way to open up to someone if not your husband, you are love and you are important and your baby/babies deserve to have you around for a long long time. Hoping you peace and love ❤️

I'm sorry, this would frustrate me as well 😞

He definitely could’ve said a lot worse or said nothing

It sounds like he doesn't really know what to say or do other than try to reassure you. Have you spoken to a professional? The need to be seen and understood is valid, but if he's out of his depth, then he could be struggling too.

It sounds like you're extremely depressed to a point where it's not healthy, and a therapist or psychiatrist would be more helpful than just crying to your husband, especially if he's just offering the same old platitudes. He can support you but you also have to take the steps to help yourself, he can't do the work for you.

I do prefer hearing “I love and need you” instead of hearing “why are you like this can’t you just be normal” but that’s just my personal insight.

To me it sounds like he’s willing to hear you out. He just doesn’t want to pry. He probably knows that some days talking about it is hard. Sometimes processing the feeling while we feel it is difficult. It sounds like he’s there for you, just unsure of what to say or how to be the most helpful.

In situations like this there’s not much he can do for you. He already loves you you have to find your own happiness and you can’t rely on him to make you happy that’s not how it works. Get yourself some help. Get a psychiatrist and find your purpose. Find your happiness. ❤️

I totally get where you're coming from incognito!! I would have liked a hug in that situation as well, and if I were talking about not wanting to be here anymore I would hope my husband would take how I felt more serious and tell me its gonna be okay or ask how he could help. I don't doubt he cares but I can understand you needing more. Your feelings are valid!

It sounds like you just need more substantial support than what you’re getting OP, depression looks different for everyone. I am diagnosed with manic depression, so I get it to say the least. If you’d like some support please feel free to message me I come without judgment on topics of mental health, because I myself have a plethora of diagnosed mental health challenges myself ❤️ 8 of them to be exact.

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
