Does this sound like depression?!
Question: Does this sound like depression!?
I am a stay at home mom of a toddler boy age 2!. My husband and I just got our first home and lately it seems like everything has been going wrong!. We have spent a lot money fixing it up and are finally getting it into good shape!. My son is going through his terrible two's where he's dependent on me still but independent also!. Meanwhile I feel very bored, but anxious!. I don't get much sleep because he's cutting his second molars and wakes up often!. My appetite hasn't change but sometimes I just feel like getting up in the middle of the night and driving to California or doing something wild!. One day I am incredibly alert, active, and energetic and a very participating mother with my son!. The next I may be overly tired, exhausted, upset but do not know why, and not as much of a participant with my son!. I can't explain the moodiness ranging from extremely energetic to fatigue!. I can't explain how I feel or why I just do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds a lot like depression!. See your regular doctor about it!. You should also try and get a part time job!. More for something to get you out of the house for a few hours!. The money can go to the baby sitter but sometimes you really just need to get away, especially if you are a stay at home mother!. Bring up the part time job thing to your husband and see what he thinks!. It doesn't have to be an all day thing!. Just few hours here and there!. Day care would also be great for your son since he would get to interract with other children his age on a somewhat regular basis (and he'll be worn out)!.

Sounds to me like you have a ton on your plate and you are having a hard time coping with the stress!. Anyone of the things you descibed carry a large amount of stress add them all together and you are in a high stress situation!. Is there anyway you can take a short break and recharge you battery!.!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
You sound more like your just majorly stressed out and need a break for yourself!. You may want to take a cruise or a weekend getaway!.

I don't know if it's depression but it sounds fairly normal for the mother of a toddler!. Our kids are 9 and 11 now, but I remember when they were toddlers my wife had many of those same feelings!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
