Hi Missy,
First thing is your not alone in how you feel.
I also have a 7 month old and I went thru the baby blues real bad when I first brought her home. I am also depressed, been so for over 4+ years now & gained over 50 lbs. As you can read in my earlie posts I just went to my doctor on Wednesday and got Zoloft. I can not go on feeling this way anymore, I have a precious baby girl who need a healthy Mom and a husband who needs his wife back.
8 years ago is a long time in Pharmaceutical time. Companies have come out with many new drugs to help since then. If you first don't succeed, try try again. I know if Zoloft doesn't work, my doctor will try another. Missy I know that the first step is always the hardest (seeing a Dr.) it took me 4+ years. You and your family are worth it. Congratulation on the Baby.
Glad you joined us here.
PS...don't be so hard on yourself, having a baby (NO SLEEP), and dieting on top of that can make one miserable, it is stressful and if your working full time like me OY VEY
Love Leens
