How can i overcome my depression?

Start by getting on your knees and praying about your situation. Pour your heart out to God and ask his help. Contact some family if you have any that are nearby or close. How about your parents, most parents love babysitting for a couple of hours. I don't think going to a big party is a good idea right away but go out to dinner with someone, even if if it is a burger and fries, husband or boyfriend if you have one or sibling, cousin, neighbor. Also talk to your doctor about this as there is help out there. You sound like you are very tired and like you need to laugh a little. But you need to take things slow. Call up your best friend, sister, brother and if you can't get out invite them over for coffee/tea and a movie, or board game or just to talk. If you do not get a life for yourself sooner or later you will begin to resent your children and they will suffer and be hurt. Force yourself to get out and be with others. Another good idea is find a church to attend and go once a week and get your kids into a nursery class. Meet people that way and soon you will find you are not alone and lonely and not so depressed. There will be others there glad to help you and even invite you to their home or something. Many members at church will be happy to help with the children and give you some breaks.

I think that you need to realize that you are a woman, a friend, a wife.girl-friend.....and not just a mother. Get a sitter and go out....I know you will not want to and will make up every excuse for not going, but when you get back you will be glad that you went. I am sooooo sure that you have lots to give the world out there....just give it a chance.

Well depression is common in this busy world..though its bitter fact. So dont take it emotional to heart and try to come out of the past. Please dont give up confidence. Do yoga, you will feel a great heal and confidence. God bless you friend! Things will be better soon, dont give up.

hi.. having twins is a blessing but i agree with you, it is indeed a hard task. I also have a month old baby (my 1st) and i feel the same too. Sometimes i get tired, so sleepy, frustrated-- i can't just get out of the house and i can't do a lot of stuffs because nobody else will take care of my child-- not as much as i can, and yes, i feel depressed because it felt like i have no choice... --- But you know what, at the end of the day, am still happy because my baby gives me hope, hope that serves as inspiration for me to move on, continue with my life, strive for the better, and whenever he looks at me and gave me that cute smile-- i feel so touched and so blessed and then eventually all my hardship is rewarding. --- Here's what i do so i don't get depressed, when my baby is sleeping i surf the net and enjoy what it has to offer- like singing while watching my favorite music video, watching comedy shows/strips- i laugh it out, or simply listening to soothing music that makes me feel relax like bella's lullaby(twilight saga) really relaxing sound for me, try it, another way is by letting go of your emotions like writing what you feel- so you see myLot helps people like us :D. If you miss your best friend, call her and ask her to come during her free time, i'm sure he/she will understand your situation as for my best friend- she calls me whenever she's free even during her break in the office and it feels good also.. --- With regards to confidence, i feel that too, i feel ugly with my stretchmarks, stitches (CS)and all of the body changes in me, if you have money you can go to a doctor and have it done-- but you're not the only one, every mother experienced the same feeling, the same hardship, the same stage and yet they survived, happy and contented so don't feel sad-- it's just a stage i guess :D think on the brighter side.

Maybe that is postpartum depression? Have you talked with anyone about this? Maybe you can tell your sister or husband to step in for a day and watch the kids for you and then you can spend time with your self. Have some shopping or lunch with your friends. Right now I am kind of depressed because I thought I am pregnant but I am not. but I talk this out with my husband and I feel comforted. Try to find someone you can talk with.

First, GET HELP! Talking about your feelings with a professional can help you sort out why you feel this way and can help you find a way to feel better about yourself. When family or friends offer help, take it. Find some time for yourself, even if it is five minutes alone in the bathroom. Try finding friends in places where you go with your kids, like daycare or parks. A lot of cities have mommy groups where the kids play and the moms chat. Sometimes they provide events with childcare or you guys can organize "kid swaps" so everyone can get a night out. You love your kids, but that doesn't mean you can't start building a new you around your Mommy image. You can feel free to message me if you need help finding a mommy group in your area! I might be able to scrounge up some ideas.

Probably you're just tired of your routine, especially that you need to look after two kids of the same age at a time. Why don't you try to see it the positive way? Enjoy the time with the twins, and don't deprive your self being with your friends. Actually, if you don't have time to go out and meet them outside, why don't you invite them at home, and for sure, they would enjoy having fun with your twins. Having kids around brings joy, probably you we're not able to see this because you considered them that caused you this dilemma. Cheer up, be show off your twins and be proud of them, and you'll soon see the joy they could give you. Happy mylotting.

We feel down once in a while, whether it's due to family or work pressures, bills piling up or feeling that something is missing from our life, it can be frustrating and damaging to our health. You must be grateful to small things, with our busy lives and hectic schedules every day we forget to be grateful for the little things in our lives that are extremely important, and without them our life would be difficult and sometimes meaningless. If you're feeling down, think about all the good and wonderful things in your life. Be grateful for your close friends and family especially to your twins. It's the little things that bring real happiness into your lives.

Hi! Hope you feel better soon! Here is what I do if I'm sad or depressed: 1. I listen to my favorite music. 2. I watch my favorite comedy shows/ movie. 3. I eat my favorite dish- pizza. 4. I talk to my friends. 5. I buy my self something special like a lisptick, a nice sandals, etc. 6. I write to my diary. 7. I try to help others. 8. I pray.

Do you realize that many mothers enjoy having twins.God has chosen you to be one of such mothers.How can you be unhappy and restless.when you are God's choice you should be highly delighted instead of depressed.Working hard to take care of them is pleasant duty of mothers only.Such pleasant duty is denied to men by God.Don't you forget all your pains when your children smile at you .Remember it is not you but only God who is taking care of your lovely twins.You are a mother.Do you know"God could not be in all places.Therefore He created mothers"Just visualize your future when they grow up and take care of you when you would have grown old...Are you not happy now hearing my statement...God bless you...

Why don't you hire someone who could take care of your babies? Even for short time only. Or just on times that you need to go out alone. It will really depress you if you think that you're tired of taking care of your little ones. I thought having babies is fun, however in your case that you were not able to meet up with your friends anymore, that will really cause depression. I think you should hire someone so you could have time to go out.

Being social can also mean spending some cash. So if you can afford it, hire a nanny to take care of your children while you're gone. Going off to social gatherings and leaving your children for just sometime doesn't mean you're turning your back as their mother. You need to regain your social life if you feel the need of doing so. Just don't forget that your real priority now in life is to be the best mother that you can be to your children. Find more reward in taking care of them... I know you have. And if you do you'll be happier with them more than ever

How charming. Mother of twins. I am so glad for you. Children bring joy in our lives and you are blessed with double bonus. Looks like Universe is extra happy with you. You must be a really nice person. I did say, why not start, for a simple stuff, loving your self again? I mean even if it were to do some silly things, start loving your self. Remember, you are the most beautiful creation on this planet, to hell those who don't agree. You see, you have the proof. Blessed with twins means you are special. Only thing you need to do is say 'I Love You' to your own self. Sounds crazy?? Well heck it is. At first looks. Then again, tell me, if you don't love yourself, who else will? Sit in front of a mirror. Sit, I insist. Bright lights. Hold a glass of drinking water in your hands. Hold it with both hands. Look at your self. Admire the beautiful you. Your special features. Even that bit of extra pounds looks great. Smile ! Wow, you are doing it right. Now turn your face, profile yourself from various angles. Even make expressive faces. Surprised, happy, pouting, showing your tongue, whatever. Then try make that sad depressive face. Instantly you will notice that beauty disappears. That frown don't look good on you. This you won't like. So naturally you will smile. You will laugh at your own silliness. This is the time to chant the magic love spell. It goes 'I Love you'. That's it. You are still holding the glass of water, chanting, as long as you can. Done? Ok, drink that water. You are completed the famous depression removal formula of yours truly. Sincerely. It seems you 'like' to be in that state and that is what it becomes in your life. Now if you like joy, happiness, then you better start 'liking' yourself. Love yourself and life is beautiful again. Let me know how it goes. I am more than happy to come up with more suggestions. Peace be with you.

better you sleep at time and do yoga and mditation,It ll surely help you

You know that it is not good to be in that situation for a long period. It is only you who can truly help yourself. Think positive. Start giving value to yourself by engaging in confidence boosting activities. Go to the nearest beauty salon and pamper yourself. See to it that you pay attention to yourself. Socialize, attend parties, kids' parties, whatever which enables you to meet people.

It sounds like you need to find your own identity again. Being a mother is only part of who you are. The first time is always hard, but you should promise yourself that the next time you hear about a party or social gathering, you will find a babysitter and go, even if you don't quite feel like it. Dress nicely, in a way that makes you feel confident and pretty, and try to find that self that was outgoing and confident. She's still in there!

Be proud that you are a mother of twins. Yes, they must be a lot of work, time, and effort in order to keep them happy. Don't feel depressed. Why don't you take some time off and ask someone to watch your children and go off and do something that you really enjoyed before you had kids. Stay positive and nothing will stand in your way :)

This acrostics from a pastoral message that i got hold off might be of help. HALT(stop) When you are H-Hungry; A-Angry; L-Lonely and T-Tired stop what you are doing because if not depression sets in. Even if its just 2 out of the 4 its a recipe for disaster. Try to feed yourself enough to take the burden of being a mother to twins. When you are getting frustrated and this turns into anger then rage.Take deep breaths. Say a prayer for God to strengthen you. When you are sad because you feel neglected learn to appreciate and encourage yourself. Do small things that bring you pleasure as simple as taking a cup of coffee or tea. A soothing and relaxing massage. When you are tired try to asked for help from somebody else. Being self sufficient does not work all the time when your body is crying for rest. Hope this helps because as a single mom it helped me through many a bleak and lonely day.
