I like your site! Anyway good post. I often find myself feeling very alone when it comes to bouts of depression as a working mother. It is really hard at times juggling a full time job, a toddler, husband, and everything else that has to be done each day. It is comforting to know that other moms struggle with these issues and feelings. I really wish that there was more of a balance here in this country when it came to parenting and working. Financially many families need two incomes today, but at the same time want to raise happy kids! So much to consider.

I would be most depressed if I wasn’t able to focus on something besides parenthood. That said, I think balance is important for all parents and hope that greater flexibility can be made available so that families can make the decisions that work best for them. I hope the downtown in the economy doesn’t reduce those choices too much.

I have so much respect for working mothers. It is a hard role to play and is accompanied by much stress and heartache. =/

I really missed the water cooler when I was a work at home mom. I’m a team player and need others to cheer me on and I need to cheer others on too. Celebrating others is what works best for me.

Work at home/stay at home moms often suffer from depression because of the lack of social interaction.

So, often – connecting with other work at home moms in your area can do wonders.

I can identify with this article completely. Even working for a fairly family friendly company, I have to make choices all of the time that make me feel guilty for missing out with the boys or guilty for missing out at work. This is only compounded by the fact that my team mostly has older children or have chosen not to have kids.
After suffering from PPD with my second, I am especially sensitive to my dark moods and notice that the balance between work and home can feel much less managable when I am in a downswing. Unfortunately, there is no real support to help me get through it. If you add to that, the fact that I get very little personal time, I sometimes feel at the breaking point.
