I agree with lucyjoy - see your doctor. I'm not a degree-toting MD, but it sounds like you're a candidate for post-partum. Yes, adoptive parents can experience this, too. Find a trusted neighbor or church member to watch your angels and get out of the house for at least four hours! Don't think - I can't do that to them. Think - I have to do this for myself foremost, but also for my husband and children.

I am a single parent of two boys - 7 and 3. I used to feel guilty about getting a sitter for an evening out when they had already spent 40 hours in daycare that week. Then I realized that I will only miss an hour of time with them if I leave at 7pm (bedtime's at 8) and that investment benefitted all of us. I try to get out one night a month - usually for a movie that is not rated G!

You can do it!
