I can sympathize with you. I felt this way with my first two children.

Make an appointment with your doctor, just a GP to start. You can start there with a physical, discuss this with him/her, make sure it is not something physical, then he/she can refer you further if necessary.

We've all been there. You have to do something for yourself. Something that will make you feel good. It could be as simple as an at-home pedicure or going for a walk in a place with nice scenery to going for a massage or dinner with some girlfriends.

Being a mom is wonderful but you still need to take the time for feeling like a woman. It doesn't mean that you are bad, it means that you are creating balance within your life. I do agree with J_9 if you feel a more deeply rooted or intense sense of depression. We shouldn't be afraid to talk to our healthcare professionals. They've heard it all.

Hi

I was 17 when I had my first child and felt the way you do. I was so depressed and felt isolated. Sometimes they say you have to hit rock bottom before you can pick your self back up. I agree slighty with this, however do not go through this depresion on your own. Do you have any friends / family who you trust and can talk to. If so tell them honestly how you feel, even if it means sobbing your heart out. Better to get it of your chest to somebody else instead of the four walls. If this option is not possible please speak to a doctor who may prescribe you anti depressants (which do help) and may advise you see a cousellor. Do you attend a mother and toddler group? Why not search for one in your local area and meet other mothers who some may feel the same. Have you any interests? You could look at joining a club or going to college for a course. Most colleges offer child care facilities.

I hope you find your way out of the depression your in.

Take care
