Depressed and Frustrated

Gavin will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. As much as I love him I can't say I totally love being a mom yet. I am completely overwhelmed with the demands of taking care of him, working and trying to take care of the house and the dogs. I just don't see how single moms do it. I have some help though not as much as I would like, especially on the weekends he has to work.

Plus the doctor told me I was borderline for postpartum depression. He offered to give me a prescription for it and I took him up on it. I have yet to take them. I decided it was a good idea to have them but I don't necessarily want to take them. We will see how the rest of the weekend goes and then I will see about taking it for a while.

Oh, and did I mention that I am homesick? I have only been homesick twice in my 32 years. Kind of sucks since this is supposed to be my home and all I want to do is go to Cleveland and hang with my parents and my friends up there (the ones I still have, I think).
