So what do I do with my life now? Is it just change diaper, feed, burp, read, teach, run errands for baby, drs appts etc?
I can't imagine the next year's of this life this is joyless even moreso than before. Not sure how I'm gonna do this. And my antidepressant isn't helping so far. I wish I had decided to spend my entire life alone I would be happier.
I never experienced post partum depression although I've heard of it, so I can't tell stories of it, or be much help in that regard.
I do know there was a time or two immediately after each of my children were born I would have gladly stuffed them back in the womb for a good night's sleep.. lol.
But not having joy in my children? That I can't imagine.. I was always so in awe of the miracle of them I just felt blessed they were alive and that God entrusted me to raise them..(and I was a VERY young parent)
So I second everyones opinion - you need some professional help, counselling, and a support system (support can easily be found in your church, lots of old grandma's like me would find much joy in a free days babysitting so you can get some extra sleep etc)
I will most certainly keep you in my prayers!
