Anxiety, pp depression, ocd

Anyone else struggle with parent anxiety, pp depression, ocd?

Ever since I had my first baby, I haven’t been the same, can’t watch true crime, too painful, can’t be alone too long or I start spiraling about shit that COULD happen, I can’t do anything now really without having like 50 different scenarios happen over one little thing my toddler does: walking too close to her brother; fall on him, step on him, slap him, break something… she’s trying to walk down the stairs; could fall, get her limb jammed and broken, face plant, break face bones, teeth, bleed out, stab her eye out on something that might be there I don’t notice… it’s exhausting and sometimes overwhelming how bad this gets. Not even just triggered by something she’s doing if I’m just with my thoughts I get random thoughts that happen, what if someone breaks in, will I shoot them, will they take one of the kids, hurt them.

That’s just the anxiety. That’s not even the depression where I feel like I’m failing at being a mom, and wife, a human. And then wanting a clean house but not having the energy to maintain. And getting mad when shit gets messed up, something small, clothes got messed up after I just folded them, something gets moved: soap, tampons, broom, totes, high chair…

I feel like I’m going crazy and failing and being too harsh or too much or spiraling over everything and I can’t sleep without sleeping pills, can’t hardly focus. Can’t drink coffee, I’m barely functioning and I want to break down on a regular basis.

How to cope?

Okay so I need help. Me and my husband have been struggling with anything related to sex. I’ve had two kids under two my youngest is 5 m old. I’m a very clingy touchy feeling person. I’m a book reader. I want more spice action.

My husband in our whole relationship hasn’t been able to go very long he goes way before me. And also has a lot less interest in sex than me. He says he used to Master b8 so often and for so long that he got sick of it but now that he has me he wants to be able to but needs me to be patient.

He isn’t very interested and open to foreplay. So I hardly ever get satisfied. And am always left feeling frustrated and tense that just stack and makes me want sex ALL the time.

And recently I’ve been going through a period where every single little thing my husband does make me want to just climb him like a tree. I want to fuck him all the time. And I want such aggressive passionate sex it’s disturbing.

Just some more information, he works two weeks on one week off so very little time spent.

I also feel guilty if I sit there and orgasm myself when he’s gone. He can go long periods of time without needing to get off while I’m stuck feeling like I’m going to explode and want to fuck all the time. I’m going crazy and am extremely confused frustrated and I’m trying to learn how to be a supportive partner but don’t know how to be content when I’m not satisfied and constantly have this tension of need and desire.

Anyone else feel weird working out?

Okay for context: I’m 20 f with two under two, I’m 5’3 and 117 but want to gain muscle and tone my body but all my life I’ve hated working out. It makes me feel awkward and weird. I feel extremely insecure about working out even alone. I don’t go to gym either 1) I live in rural ak, 2) I feel unproductive when working out at a gym, 3) I can’t leave my kids.

I want to start working out in the evening when the kids go down but honestly I just feel super awkward and uncomfortable about it. Like I’ll do it be having the motivation and drive for it is close to impossible.

Anyone else? Got any advice?

Itchy scalp but no dandruff

Itchy scalp but no dandruff

Okay I need help so I’ve struggled with my scalp getting itchy and have no dandruff and I’ve found that switching shampoos every 3 weeks or every month works but I’m wondering if this is normal.

It’s not just light itchiness either it’s full blow, can’t stop itching that causes scabbing and stuff.

I’ve tried washing once, twice, soaking my scalp and ends in conditioner after wash, not soaking in conditioner, I’ve tried just the ends, I’ve tried head and shoulders, I’ve tried regular shampoos, mane and tail, native, ogx, I’ve tried whole blends. Moisturizing shampoos, dandruff ones, I’ve honestly tried everything I can think of. What are your thoughts?! Any advice?!
