So, I have come to the realization I will need help after Hailey is born. I'll watch for PPD, but mostly I feel like everyone abandoned me during this pregnancy. I don't know how to get over that. It seems like no one even notices, and I fully expect no help in the future. I have so much saddness over it, but in all honesty, what I truely have is rage. Red-and-white-hot-rage. There are times it just fully consumes me, like a river of lava, scorching through me. Sounds dramatic, I know, but there it is. It hits me and I get so mad I shake, and I feel like I want to reach out and wound these people back.
So...when I seek help (yup, I'd say I need it LOL) to find some kind of trust in the world and in my family and community again...how do I go about it? I know it is directly related to the fact that I now believe the only one I can depend on is me, and my girls. I don't want to be diagnosed for depression or bipolar or anything, I don't even want meds because this seems like something meds would disolve, not resolve...just someone to help me work the tools to get over this anger, if anything else.
That have a name? Or should I just walk up to a psychologist and say the above?
