Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

just started zoloft for ppd. can anyone tell me about weight gain/loss and any other side effects? not completely sure I want to be on any medication to be honest.
6 replies [ Reply | Watch | Moreyes, thank you. do you feel a lot better? all that is a big part of it for me, esp. the sleep deprivation. I do have help during the day thank goodness. I just feel not like myself--very angry and often hopeless about things getting easier. I just want to take it for a little while so that I can get a handle on things, but feel ambivalent because of the side effects. as I am still losing pg weight, I really don't want any weight issues or to feel weird. thanks again.
[ Reply | More ]There is so much needless pressure for a mom to bond with a little child. Did you know the term "bonding" wasn't coined until the 1970s? Having a new baby is a radical life style change, and it's really hard work that comes with a lot of fear that things will never get better. Ds is 3 now and I can honestly say it gets so much better and so much easier. Sleep deprivation has been used by armies for torture for hundreds of years. You'll feel better when baby is sleeping through the night. And when you get lose the baby weight. And when you can socialize again w/o worrying the baby will catch a cold and have to go to the hospital. I think everyone has those times when they think "OMG, what did I do? My life was great before this". Give yourself a break and know that it gets easier. HTHs.
