[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s very good of you to ask this question, OP. [b]It’s amazing how our thoughts can trick us.[/b] Keep listening to your “wise mind” and make sure your very common, treatable medical condition gets treated. Hugs to you. [/quote]

NP. Yes, absolutely. OP, sweet pea, depression lies to you. It has the sneakiest, cleverest little worms of lies. One of the big ones is that you aren't trying hard enough, that if you were a better person, a better mother, you would muster up the willpower to just will this away. That you are a burden, and your baby deserves someone stronger and better than you.

Don't listen to that one. Don't EVER even give it the time of day. It's a lie. Depression tells that story to just about every woman who faces this fight. We all know it's a lie when we aren't in the grip of this. People who work with women that face this are ready and waiting to help you with so many more resources than you know.

Big hugs. Listen to us. It's rare that DCUM has a full consensus, but you got it. And you got this, too. Just need a stick from someone to fight it with.

Sleep well. [/quote]
