Check into hospital?

At what point should I check myself into the hospital/ER? I have been feeling quite helpless and hopeless. My marriage sucks. My son doesn’t really give me happiness as there is no major bond. I feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed everyday. I hate life. My body hurts all the fckin time. I’m exhausted. Nothing makes me happy. I feel like I’m just having a hard time living. Idk what to do with myself tbh. Walking didn’t do shit for me yesterday. My husband pisses me off whenever he talks. Talking to people about how I feel is starting to feel worthless and these ugly thoughts of being better off dead just comes and goes. I’m just pretty much almost done with life. Always choose others over myself. If I chose myself, I would have ended my marriage and left my son with his dad.

Hey love, I’m so sorry all this is happening to you. I think maybe you should take a quick visit to the ER and get treatment. Motherhood is a hard adjustment for any woman. I’m here if you need someone to message. I’m very non-judgmental and I can just be listening ear. Sending a bunch of love and hugs your way.

I think you need to check in asap. You might need to go on medication to avoid deterioration and to balance you out a bit. Then I’d suggest therapy and major changes in your current life. Motherhood is an insane thing and postpartum depression messes you up so bad. Please please seek and go get help though with appropriate treatment you can get better and bond with your child. I’m sending you lots of hugs.

Hi Jenn, I know that you don’t feel strong bond with your son, but I think you’re a wonderful mom. I don’t comment much on here because I’m so overwhelmed and tired from taking care of my son all day, but when he goes to sleep at night and I finally can breathe and scroll on my phone, I sometimes read the questions you post here and they’re so helpful because a lot of your questions I go through them too. I sincerely hope you get the help you need, but in the meantime if you just want to vent, or talk about nothing related to motherhood, please feel free to message me. I will reply back.

Hey mama. Sorry you are going through this. Life is tough sometimes. I pray you get the help you need and find the strength to go on in Jesus precious name, amen. Remember God loves you.

@Maddie Thank you Maddie for reaching out! It was tough. I forgot to mention that I started birth control last Tuesday so idk if that played a factor too?! I told my husband that if this happens again — I’m going to the hospital.

@Silvia PPD/PPA definitely messes me up! I was tired for a couple days and I started birth control so I think my hormones were messed up! And I do have meds on hand but I have it only if it’s a real emergency because I don’t like to take meds. I have therapy today so I hope that will help me!

@Layla Thank you girl! You are a wonderful mom yourself! I really am HARD on myself and idk how to give myself grace. I didn’t grow up with a strong mother figure that was loving so I guess I struggle with loving myself? Idk. I do have therapy once a week so I hope today’s session will help. Thanks for your comments! I think I just needed a pick me up and to be reminded that I’m doing the best I can! Again, I don’t have these thoughts for myself on my own. It’s just not wired like that for me

Sending lots of healing vibes ! Good luck with therapy you have a community here for you ❤️

@Blessing Thank you for the prayers! I think your prayer helped! I feel better mentally, emotionally and physically now. I think I needed to let the rage out and just feel my emotions.

@Jenn I am so glad to hear from you :) I completely understand of being hard on yourself…I am the same way. I guess I just want to make sure I’m doing the best that I can because I don’t want to regret later that I could’ve done more. If we can’t give ourselves grace on our own, then maybe we can give it to each other haha

Sorry you’re going through that. You should check in asap, or seek therapy. Work out or find a hobby that helped me when I was depressed. Even going to church helps people. You can always reach out.
