I know it's normal..post partum & all, and especially with the adoption. But it's getting a bit overwhelming right now. I will be talking with my doctor about it...but I really don't want medication. sad

part of me doesn't even want to go see them tomorrow....part of me just wants to be left alone right now. I've tried so hard to be strong through this, but right now I feel like I'm falling apart.

I'm going to take a hot shower & try to relax...I know what's causing all of these feelings, but knowing that doesn't really make them better.

I just needed to get it off my chest.

Thanks for listening you guys.

You're RIGHT in the throes of it too right now. Typical normal baby blues that EVERYONE gets happen in the first four weeks, USUALLY before the first week is over. Because when that placenta goes so do all those hormones...like a snap.

I called my mom on the third day and told her I needed to talk to her, and then I was just like "Everything is just fine, I don't know why I'm sad!" and then just whined about the incontinence I had and feeling like Lissa was angry with me, and feeling like nothing would be the same or normal every again. Then that night I turned the shower on and sat down in the tub and just CRIED, for no damned reason at all...just cried and cried and cried for a good half hour.

The worst is trying to hold it in. You just feel worse with the tears and saddness all right there on the edge of your emotions.

Post pardum is tough. I'm late to the topic, though. How are you feeling now?
