You can try and try to do things but never see the success. After my first baby, I told the Dr that I was physically drained, emotionally drained and spiritually drained. Then he said, " that is what depression is." Oh, Medications start to work in about 3 weeks. They are not happy pills but they begin to give you some of the strength you need to get things done. Generics are under $10 month. Please try and get to a Dr. it can be so helpfull. <br /> Don't over analyze the kids behavior. Just be consistent with your rules and try not to yell. Calm adults help kids to be calm. Take care of yourself as much as you can. I didn't do this when I had young children and now see it as a mistake. You need to take care of yourself on all levels to be a calm and consistent leader for your children.<br /> Things will get better.<br />~ ChristieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430564212062493474.post-71507268554006120152014-05-31T15:21:53.737-04:002014-05-31T15:21:53.737-04:00I am sorry that you are feeling so down and defeat...I am sorry that you are feeling so down and defeated.
