Very scared and nervous to be taking antidepressants but, I definitely need help at the moment. Also, worried about it taking a long time to kick in cos I want to feel better soon.

Hello! I’m a new mom, my baby is 8 weeks. My partner got a new job while I was pregnant and I wasn’t too excited about it cos it meant for us to move 3 hours away and a pretty big pay cut but it was his dream job and in a couple years he’s guaranteed to be making what he used to make. I know 3 hours isn’t a long drive but it’s still enough where I can’t see my friends and family daily. Even going every weekend feels like a lot.

I was working as a pharmacy tech an 8-5 at a specialty pharmacy while pregnant and took maternity leave but obviously since I moved I can’t go back. I feel guilty for wanting to go back to work so soon instead of spending 100% of my time being a mom but, I miss having my paychecks and she sleeps a lot (for now). I’ve looked at jobs doing the same thing I was doing but open to new alternatives.
