I feel like such a lousy mother right now being as I am not with my newborn(I had a lil boy I named Tyler) Of course if I had a hubby that was worth a crap (he is in prison for what he did) then maybe I could have him here with me since I would have the help. Instead it is me and my 16 year old son struggling. Luckily I have a great friend that got an apt. for all of us and she pays the bills until I find a job or feel even good enough to work. I am still stressing though since I do have a car payment and a few other bills. I was diagnosed with fibro 2 years ago and have been on methadone for since then. I just recently started going to a pain management Dr. and he has weaned me down to 20 mg. of that and I take the 75mcr patch. Oh I forgot my husband in his rampage gave me a compression fracture in my T12 disc, I also was just diagnosed with arthritis in my spine and last but not least I have the beginnings of osteoporosis. It is hard to just get out of bed and do normal things anymore. All this on top of the depression & PTS syndrome makes me think "will it ever end?" I miss my baby terribly but know he is getting what I can't give him right now I just pray I can get it all together soon so that I can take him back home

Welcome Ladymp33!!!!

I am glad that you have found this site.

I am the group leader here and will do my best to help you out.

First, how old is your new little guy?

Who is caring for him right now?

Have you gone and seen a counselor or a Psy Doc?

When I was in the deepest, darkest throws of the PPD, I was in denial and I did not want to go. I couldn't believe that I was depressed (plus, my O.B. said it was the "Baby Blues" and that it would go away on its own).

Eventually, I went to a counselor and eventually and also ended up with a Psy Doc. Both were the best decisions I have made for myself even though it continues to be a long hard road to tow.

I am here almost every day and usually all day long.

Let me know what you would like to talk about, if you have any questions, what is going on with you......so that I can help you the best that I can.
