@moonbeam - I read your post earlier today, but I was on my phone so I couldn't reply at the time. I just want to give you a million hugs because you are so amazing and the things he said could not have been more wrong. (((HUG)))
@moonbeam I saw your post earlier just couldn't respond at the moment. So many hugs!!! You are amazing and we are all here for you!
estrellita I'm so sorry you and your H are off sync. :-( I totally understand having depression/anxiety come back up. Mine has been very high the past year. PM me anytime if you wanna talk.
I've been logging food into MFP and measuring out portions and walking more, but my pants don't fit (and I swear I wore one of the last week.) GRR. I have one pair that fits really well still (same size and brand as the ones that don't button) but I wore them twice this week. Today I'm wearing a pair of pull on NY&Co pants. Luckily my jeans fit well so that's tomorrow. I'm about to put on a workout video, but I miss not being able to get away without exercising or watching what I ate.

Thanks bk1, I appreciate it. Sometimes I feel like no one really understands depression and anxiety because most people don't deal with the extremes of it every day. It's good to know I'm not alone, but it sucks that either of us feel this way! I might look into safe meds after baby because I'm scared I'm a prime candidate for PPD and I really don't want to take that risk!
katespade, bk1, Thank you for your kind words. Everyone has been so sweet. wanderingenough Thank you for the info, I will find out more about those counseling options.
Work is so crazy right now. And I was promised a promotion this year and it looks like the powers that be totally forgot. My boss is advocating for me, but it is looking like an "Oops, maybe next year" kind of a thing.

DH and I were talking about this the other day. I admitted I think I am too and he said he is already planning on watching out for it. Depression/Anxiety runs in my family already so I try to stay on alert. I get you.

Ugh! I hope that your promotion goes through! That would be so frustrating for sure!!
