Those sound like great goals Momstheword!

Let us know how you do. Remember to try to reward yourself when you achieve these goals.

I also have to say, your little one is very lucky to have a mom like you.

Take care,

Hello Ashley,

Thank you for the welcome. My goals this week is to manage to go for a walk at least once. I am hoping to do a bit of housework. Finally I want to bather everyday. I haven't had the get up and go to bathe daily. That bugs me.

I use every ounces of energy I have to make sure Kiddo is well cared for. By the time I am done with that, I have nothing left. I mean once he falls asleep for the night or a nap or something, I am just burned out.

Anyway, those are my goals this week. That and to set-up my homework for session 1.

Hi Momstheword,

Welcome back to the site. Good for you for recognizing your symptoms and seeking help; this takes courage and strength. Please be sure you talk to your doctor if you are concerned that you have post pastum depression.

Set backs are normal when it comes to Depression and Anxiety but know you are not alone. We will help you through this. Due to the fact that you are starting a new stage in your life it makes sense that you will need to develope new coping strategies. Refresh your knowledge by going through the program again.

Also, as a new mom and it can be difficult to have time to care for yourself but self care is very important when you are feeling depressed. Try as much as you can to have a regular sleep cycle, eat healthy, exercise (even a short walk a day), and spend time socializing. I know right now it might seem impossible to do these things but set small goals to start. Remember, when it comes to depression action normally has to come before the motivation; where when you are not depressed you may have had motivation before action.

What are some small goals you want to set for yourself for this week?

Hello all,

I've been here before under many other names and accounts. (Sorry about that researchers, I know I am messing up data). I change my e-mail regularly and my passwords often. I couldn't remember under which e-mail or password I was signed in lat time and I think that e-mail doesn't exist anymore, even. Also, I kinda wanted to start fresh, or over as it was. so here goes.

I am a new mom. I had my first child late in life. Kiddo is the greatest baby in the world. I have a great husband. I also think I have postpartum depression.

Of course I am going to do all the medical checking like I always do like get my thyroid checked...again and such things but at this point in my life I recognize the signs of depression.

I have had several depressions in my life. I have also struggled with anxiety disorders. I'Ve been in the mental health care system for more than half my life. I have so many different diagnosis to my name I can'T even keep track of them anymore. Seriously, I don't know what the general consensus is bout me anymore when it comes to doctors and psychiatrists and therapists. But oh well, I am me.

I've done the Dep. C. program before and the Panic C. program before and they helped. But I am dealing with a relapse so here I am again. Hmmm...I am repeating myself aren't I? I have trouble keeping track of my thoughts lately.

Anyway, I had my amazing baby in the past year. Kiddo was born prematurely and was in the hospital for weeks. It was tough but we got through it. I thought I was doing fine.

But the last few months, I have been exhausted, anxious, weepy, sad, uninterested, gaining weight, sleeping too much, I have no get up and go, I have trouble just bathing everyday, in fact, I don't anymore. I have trouble taking care of the house. It's a good thing Hubby is here. I feel bad about myself a lot. Sometimes I feel downright subhuman. I feel guilty al the time. Despite Hubby assuring me that I am a great mom I feel like the worse mom in the world. In short, I think I have postpartum.

So hello all, nice to meet you!
