Sarita12385 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 My son is 4 months old today, and I'm blessed enough to be able to leave him in the care of my mother in law while my husband and I go to work during the week. I'm having an extremely hard time not being with him at this point. At the beginning when I returned to work, it was hard as well, but at the same time I was happy to get back and interact with adults again. I feel like I completely replapsed. Some days are so much harder than others. Like today. I just can't keep the tears away. It hurts so bad I feel like just getting up from my desk and going home. I wish I didn't need my job as much as I do. It's the worst heartache ever. Is anyone else going through this? If so, how do you manage to deal with the pain?
Author Sarita12385 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Thank you for the reply, but I don't believe that is postpartum depression after speaking with my physician about how I'm feeling. I would call it separation anxiety. I had asked if anyone else experienced it and how they handled it.
Ronni_W Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Hi Sarita, and Happy 4 Months to your son I can't help...except to suggest that you may receive some useful responses if you repost in the 'parenting' forum.
