In reply to How do you hide it?, posted by fairywings on December 9, 2005, at 10:47:39
oh dear fairywings. First thing...don't hide it. don't deny yourself your feelings. there have been many years where i just can't put up any decorations, it was hard this year all i did was the nativity scene. but my husband put up lots of other stuff.
that 'sick' feeling you have may feel awful but i'm sure it's good. it's like (excuse the metaphor) throwing up. it may feel awful but afterwards you get better.
telling this secret was good. it was just roting inside you. this also shows that you trust your T enough to let this out. keep it going, keep discussing it till it no longer feels icky (medical term).i doubt your kids think they have a crazy mom. but kids see right through stuff. let them know that it's ok, that mommy just doens't feel that well lately. that you feel a little sad. if your husband loves you he won't think your a burden.
i think unless you've been clinically depressed you really don't know what it's like. so let him know that, let him know that what you need is not total understanding of what your going through but patience is what you need, loving supportive words. and maybe some extra help with the kids or housework for a while.
are you on any meds? you don't have to keep feeling this way. many people go on meds in the winter (around holidays and sometimes just the weather) then can go off them in spring. please talk to your pdoc or Gp.
please take care of yourself
