I think the pill may be making me depressed but I’m not sure. I’ve been on 4mg for two weeks and it’s been helping me tremendously. I don’t want to quit. Does anyone else feel sad? Does it get t better? Ugh
Hi all
I have two kids- 8 and 5...i've been a stay at home mom for like 5 years total. I have had two jobs in the span of those 5 years..one lasted about 8 months (I gave birth to my daughter and left) and the next one lasted 3 months. The most recent job killed me.
I was only there for 3 months and they drowned me in work. They treated me like crap..I needed to leave early two days in a row to be home when my kids got home (my husband works from home but was away for a work trip). They gave me so much shit aobut using my PTO for these hours, then they forced me to skip my lunch to "catch up". They gave me more work than I could handle starting the 2nd week. I tried SO hard to make it work, but my brain became obssesed with how miserable this job was making me. I was coming home and working more, ignoring the kids, waking up early to work and i could feel my blood pressure just sitting high all day. The stress was never ending. I quit. I was so happy for about a month and a half. Now here I am. A SAHM with two kids in school.
Honestly, my kids are only gone for 6 hours a day, so its not really that much time, but im wondering if I should try for a part time job? Everytime I look I am filled with complete dread. But, im not sure what to do...I dont know a single other SAHM in my area (everyone works), but the thought of working...even remote makes me want to hurl. What do I do when my kids leave for college? is this the rest of my life? why cant I just enjoy this and be happy.
