Parenting and Depression
I've heard it all: "You have a beautiful, healthy daughter with another on the way. You shouldn't be depressed," "Others have it worse," "At least you have your kids," and so on. I have felt guilty for being depressed. I have felt like I don't deserve to feel this way. More often than not, I get down even more. I have been told that I should be thankful for being able to stay at home and raise my kids. The truth? Being a stay at home mom and having depression, or any mental illness, is a nightmare.
