I have become such a bad mom?!


Question:

I have become such a bad mom?

I was once a great mom but it feels like i cant be most of the time. I had an infant loss last year and slowly Ive become less patient, less enthusiastic about doing almost anything. All the whining and fighting, and the whole needing stuff at inconvenient times, sometimes I just dont care when someone gets hurt from them pushing each other, Im totally burnt out. I get a good amount of breaks but I never feel rejuvinated. I had a gried counselor, I tried therapy for controling my attitude but it gets turned into them wondering if I hit my kids. I know Im irrational, Ive been saying a long time, "Im not sure how long I can take it"and now Im at that point. I cant believe Im even functioning. How can I get help w/o ppl suspecting Im abusing my kids? Forget the pills. What about hypnotherapy?

EVERYTHING is an irritation. Water dripping on my foot when washing my face, the shirt landing on the floor when I tossed it to the bed, and the road rage! I get so angry over very small, every day things.


Answers:

Hi sweetie. You love your children, you hate your life right now and cannot control your emotions. Frustration, short fuse, inability to make decisions, that anxious feeling you may wake up with, excessive guilt - these are common signs of depression in women. Yes you can get out of bed, get the kids ready, etc. You are still most likely in the midst of a major depressive episode. Call your health care provider today and get a referral to a psychiatric center for evaluation. Do it today and you will soon be sleeping better, loving better and not feeling guilty all the time. Don't wait on it. Your kids are counting on you Mom.
