Thanks everyone. I wasnT trying to get hair pats, just answer the questions. But I do appreciate the love for sure! I will ask DH if I could book and early evening therapy appt and will ask MIL ih she could watch the girls while I go to the doctor. I was JUST in two weeks ago and told my doctor I was doing fine, so I feel pretty stupid calling back, but oh well.
No danger of that.
You're making this too easy, and I'm going to wear out my welcome soon.

Why do you have to ask him? Just clear it with your MIL and book it.
Don't feel stupid. Your doctor would much rather you come in and get the care you need. But also, in the future, maybe don't lie to your doctor when he or she asks how you're doing. It only hurts you. ((((more hugs))))
I meant two different appointments. One with my psychologist (who can't change my meds) and one with my GP for the meds. I can ask MIL for a doctor appt, but I canT get myself to ask for a psychologist appt.
Oh, I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this. I would give you hair pats but... ya know.
Seriously can your Mom watch the kids while you go to the doctor and therapy? Is she still around?
She is going crazy with the restaurant situation and lives two hours away And we gave her lice when we went to her house two weeks ago. WE DIDN'T KNOW.

Legit LOL. I maintain that the papie family needs to be a reality show. You know we would all eat that shit up and then you'd be rich and famous.

Got it. Yes, both appointments sound important. But still don't ask him - tell him you absolutely need this, one morning or night a week, for the forseeable future. Even if you meet him at his office and he takes all three kids for a long lunch while you go - ok, as long as you can go.

Oh god. I forgot about the restaurant thing ( the whole your bro is being a douche thing right? ).

Sorry if I wasnt clear. I FELT FINE two weeks ago. Then we got lice, and DH went back to work, and the baby hit his 4 month wakeful period and it all went to hell.

Does your H have lice yet?
The treatment worked on him. I found a couple of dead ones with the first treatment and nothing since, and he also got his second treatment. I am having the lice fairy check him anyway, but I am pretty sure he is lice free.

Friend, you need to start hiring in some stuff.
Get a sitter to come over for a few hours so you can get out for these appointments. Get a housecleaner to come over and do some cleaning. Bring in some professionals here to take the load off until you can get yourself in a better headspace and your husband's schedule relaxes.

I told my dr the same. I was lying to myself and to her. If you call they hopefully can do a temporary script until you can get in for the appt. When I would suspect I was struggling (this time it manifested as anxiety instead of the want to curl up in the corner and cry ppd I had after DS)... Anyways when I thought maybe I'm struggling I tried to convince myself it would pass with time. I wasted three months when I needed meds. Don't be me. Call now.

I have no idea if someone already posted this but here is how you tell a live nit where the baby is still inside from a "dead" one where it has already hatched out the crawling louse.
Stop reading if this is going to gross you out.
Pop the nit between two fingernails - like put the nit in the middle of your thumbnail and push with the other thumbnail. If it makes a popping sound, there was a live one inside. If it doesn't make a pop - it has already hatched - at that point look for live ones. This is from my summers living in India.

Very very bad, suppressed memories are surfacing, thank you very much.

After vaba I said I won't be contributing to any more "fundraisers" for posters, but if anyone else is on board, I'd be glad to mail papie ONE of my xanax pills. If you get enough of us to mail you one you'll be set until you can get in to see the doctor again. A drugraiser, if you will. Good luck, though. I hope things get easier for you soon. They will.
I'm glad you talked to the play date mom before hand and gave her the opportunity to change her mind. And, even though you gave her the chance to change her mind about it, I'm glad you apologized to her when you picked dd up. Honestly, this is where my hang up with the whole thing was. I would have been pretty irritated if a mom showed up on my doorstep to drop their kid off and mentioned the lice then, but only because I'm a doormat and wouldn't have been able to say no.
I'm sorry you are so overwhelmed right now. I hope you can get your meds changed and a therapist appointment soon. I also hope you guys are lice free after the fairy comes!
And I threw myself under the work bus Papie! People now know I let my wormy puppy snuggle with me in bed.
All the haters, you keep on hating. These are formative months and I am not going to have my puppy feel unloved just because, when she poops, squirmy, living pieces of vermicelli come out. Am I now incapable of eating spaghetti? Yes. Yes I am. But I don't love her any less, and carbs are bad anyway.
I wouldn't want flames for this. Why, when you're already depressed, would you post it in a flameful fashion, then come back with the depression bit? Why not include that initially, instead of allowing the flames due to lack of info. It's like glutton for punishment stuff.
Papie, feel better. Get off the internets, it's a bad place when you put yourself out there like that.
I posted because I have no internet filter. I only mentioned the depression because several people asked of I was ok.
