Hey everyone well i had my son july 17th. Well i'm just really depressed. I feel totally alone... I'm suppose to be so happy and i'm just not. I cry all the time... i dont eat... i dont sleep. I'm home alone all day with the baby and its only me at night 2. I know he's my baby and i just gotta deal with it. I just don't know how. I've talked with my mom and sister and my child's father and some of my friends too. But it doesn't make me feel any better. I guess i have no choice but to call the doctor. I'm 22 by the way just if any1 was wondering.

I dont know what to tell you. I'm sorry you feel that way though. And talking to people dosen't help? Maybe its got something to do with your hormones from just having a baby. It is possible so I would definetly see your doctor to be safe. What is it your depressed about? Is there any reason at all?

It's probably PPD, or Post Partum Depression. It's totally common for it to happen. I'd definitely go see a doctor about it cause it could be something different.

Well, are you a single mom? Do you get any help? It can be PPD or it could just be that you need a lil help. When the little ones are just born they are a full time job - it gets easier tho. But, maybe you should have someone watch the lil guy for an hour or two every other day...just for a lil break, until your hormones and boy adjust.

I too was home at night by myself with a new born and yes its hard cus you want your husband to spends nights with you and the new born and get up when you get up but instead hes working. yeah I been there actually it was this time last year. I noticed that if I where to stay at home all day everyday I would go through a pretty bad depression (actually sometimes that still happens) and I would have to force myself out the house, Go window shop you even take the stroller out and go for a walk around the block a few times. This does help cus even your young baby needs to get out of the house and the fresh air will be good for you plus you will feel good too cus it helps with the baby fat. Walking is the best way to lose that.
Also if it is ppd then you do need to get help cus it can get worse and even become post partum sycoses. Good luck and feel free to PM anytime we could talk more and give you more advice. so just let me now if you need me, Im here

Thanks everyone i just feel so overwhelmed. My childs father doesnt live with me i'm currently staying with my parents til i can get back on my feet. I had a c-section so i can't really lift much. My car doesn't have ac so its hard to go anywhere but i will try and go for a walk. I'm just feeling alone and i'm the one thats always with the baby. i dont like to ask for help. My mom and dad are at work all day and tired when they come home. I just feel bad because i should beable to take care of my baby myself. I have a doctors appt for tomorrow. so i hope they can do something for me.
