Only yesterday were my eyes opened to my OCD. I have pumped so much my body must thinks I have twins if not triplets. I have tossed out my feeding logs and am trying to space my pumps out so it's not so hard. Your post helped me so much see that I'm not alone and I'm not a horrible person. Thank you so so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557172278456939383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-29701811091214180632011-09-26T00:32:51.232-04:002011-09-26T00:32:51.232-04:00Just came over from RMB, and wow.

I have struggled with OCD and intrusive bad thoughts for a while, triggered by birth control, and I've often worried about how it will manifest when I become a mother. These posts were amazing and I found so much worth and comfort in reading them.

Plain ol' run-of-the-mill garden-variety depression most likely as I've struggled with all my life. :sigh: But in a morbid way, it's slightly comforting to know that these are all signs of such and not just me becoming a crazy person.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475112158639748154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-19604341028448720922010-08-07T21:41:01.485-04:002010-08-07T21:41:01.485-04:00Except that my breastfeeding woes sorted out at si...Except that my breastfeeding woes sorted out at six weeks, this could have been me--bf trouble, weight loss scare, new town, no friends or family, logged for a year, TV on all the time, constant anxiety and no sleep. I also had a thyroid problem that caused a host of physical problems. My memories of that time are a constant reminder to me to reach out to all the new moms I know!Rosannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-23698293311035681022010-08-06T15:46:39.435-04:002010-08-06T15:46:39.435-04:00Oh, yeah.

I pumped for eight...months.... so happy that I did! Boys are happy, healthy, sweet & sassy (not to mention 2 1/2 -y-olds who are NOT napping right now...).

I'm sorry to hear that. Without knowing more, I would wonder about general depression, and perhaps talk to someone? Do you have good support around you, enough breaks, enough companionship?Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019907275666753543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-11890185365021049092010-08-06T11:06:29.268-04:002010-08-06T11:06:29.268-04:00So, what does it mean when your "baby" i...So, what does it mean when your "baby" is 2 years old and you still feel this way? Is this just plain ol' depression then, or something else? Because I can STILL relate to a LOT of things on this list.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475112158639748154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-50663864153780637182010-08-06T10:36:15.665-04:002010-08-06T10:36:15.665-04:00It's amazing that you came through all of this...It's amazing that you came through all of this and are able to tell the tale so eloquently. <br /><br />I also overfed my infant... After the first few days of him not even waking up on his own or being willing to take a bottle (nevermind breast, at that desperate point) I gave him ALL of the milk I was pumping--3-5 ounces sometimes. Same wiggle-the-bottle to get him going again and not even realizing how very severely overfed he was... <br /><br />I had no clue how much he needed and never thought to look it up. I thought if he took it, that meant he needed it. My paranoia that he would go hungry overrode all other thoughts. And then an LC told me he was under-eating when we went in for help with latch. That is an LC I would not recommend to ANYONE.<br /><br />I'm fortunate to have worked out all these issues early on, I can see now. I still hope I can help other moms avoid them altogether though.Arualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864953064301451142noreply@blogger.com
