On the verge of a breakdown

Mom Gone Mad · 07-25-2007, 01:09 AM

Hi everyone, I'm new. My name is Steffani, I'm 21 and I have two beautiful little children. A son who is 16 months and a daughter who is 3 months.

BUT I have big issues...

I am almost convinced I might have PMDD. I have done some research but I really would love to talk to other women with this. I just have this feeling of hopelessness and extream anxiety and I feel like my husband is the biggest hole I have ever met and my kids are making me want to hide in the closet. I mean I feel like a terrible mother and wife, but I also feel like I have no control. I just feel like my life is meaningless. Like I don't know who I am anymore. I am a stay at home mom and don't get out all that often due to the difficulty of getting two kids under the age of two out the door. I just feel wrong. I think I'm starting to resent my husband and my kids and I just need help.

Anything will do at this point. Does anyone else ever feel this way?

I think everyone goes through a little time of where they are not as happy as usual, but what you describe seems bigger than that. You should call a doctor and tell them how you feel they will probably refer you to a therapist where you could work out your problems and maybe even medicine. From what I know depresion is very serious and you should seek help immedietly. Best of luck and hang in there.
