Stay at Home Mothers and Depression- Golden Tip


stay at home mothers and depression


Stay at home mothers and depression is a fact encountered at every home where mothers have chosen to leave everything behind and give priority to their children. Since I have been a stay at home mother from day one, I have took on my charge the mission of helping every super mom fight her depression naturally and help her find the best way to get the recognition she needs in her society. 
The most frustrating reality is that house chores and children care are both unproductive or let’s say that the results aren't clear on the short term. Every person needs to see the result of his work right after he finishes to feel satisfied but this is quite impossible when you're a super mom.

Meaning that a mother spends all her day cleaning while her kids are marching behind her to spread dirt and food all over the place so when it's time to go to bed she looks behind her to find things just the way she left them in the morning: messy and dirty. But what a mother should learn is that this exact work is very productive on the long term and she will see her work elaborated when those little demons grow up to become intelligent young ladies and gentlemen and all the sacrifices she made will be forgotten when she will enjoy the good relationship she has built all along these years.

Being a stay at home mom might be one of the hardest jobs ever, and depression does in fact lay its weight on you but you have to keep your faith and hopes up and remember that what you did is great when you decided to shut yourself inside your home and make your kids and family your priority. One day will come when you will be able to proceed with your social life. So allow me to give you one small piece of advice: make a small time during the day to place a solid foundation for your future. If you would like to carry on with your freelance writer career, per example, like I would, you could simply intensify your readings and maybe improve your language knowledge and learn new foreign languages to open new frontiers. 

Remember that this is the time for you to invest in your children, one day they will grow up and they will leave. This is the time to build some valuable memories and found a solid relationship between you two which will be the map that will bring them back home one day. A mother will be always needed, be there for them when their young so they will always have something to look up for when they grow up.

How to be Super Mom is a question asked by every mother. Learn that it is enough for you to be a devoted mother to be a super mom. 

I would love to receive your questions, read your comments, and help you if I can. Also learn that all the free recipes, crafts and guides are targeted to help you all simplify your life. Good Luck!

It incorporates a new psychoneuroimmunology framework for understanding postpartum depression and includes chapters on:
  • Negative birth experiences
  • Infant characteristics
  • Psychosocial factors
  • Antidepressant medication
  • Therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy
  • Herbal medicine and alternative therapies
  • Suicide and infanticide

The Ghost in the House: Real Mothers Talk about Maternal Depression, Raising Children, and How They Cope The Ghost in the House: Real Mothers Talk about Maternal Depression, Raising Children, and How They Cope
An award-winning reporter for the "Washington Post," Tracy Thompson was thirty-four when she was hospitalized and put on suicide watch during a major depressive episode. This event, the culmination of more than twenty years of silent suffering, became the point of departure for an in-depth, groundbreaking book on depression and her struggle with the disease. "The Beast" shattered stereotypes and inspired countless readers to confront their own battles with mental illness. Having written that book, and having found the security of a happy marriage, Thompson assumed that she had learned to manage her illness. But when she took on one of the most emotionally demanding jobs of all being a mother depression returned with fresh vengeance. Very quickly Thompson realized that virtually everything she had learned up to then about dealing with depression was now either inadequate or useless. In fact, maternal depression was a different beast altogether. She tackled her problem head-on, meticulously investigating the latest scientific research and collecting the stories of nearly 400 mothers with depression. What she found was startling: a problem more widespread than she or any other mother struggling alone with this affliction could have imagined. Women make up nearly 12 million of the 19 million Americans affected by depression every year, experiencing episodes at nearly twice the rate that men do. Women suffer most frequently between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four not coincidentally, the primary childbearing years. "The Ghost in the House," the result of Thompson's extensive studies, is the first book to address maternal depression as a lifelong illness that can have profound ramifications for mother and child. A striking blend of memoir and journalism, here is an invaluable resource for the millions of women who are white-knuckling their way through what should be the most satisfying years of their lives. Thompson offers her readers a concise summary of the cutting-edge research in this field, deftly written prose, and, above all, hope.

Stay at Home Mothers and Depression



I need all of you mothers to help me on a new project. As a start I need to know how many stay at home moms- without a housekeeper or a nanny- do we have on board?  For all those mothers please do not be depressed if society doesn't acknowledge your work and give it its value. How to be Super Mom is working on a project to help all stay at home mothers- doing all the tasks by themselves- get more recognized by the society. You are not only a woman at home, you are a nurse, a cook, a teacher, a housekeeper, a psychologist, an artist-- You are a MOTHER sacrificing it all for the wellbeing of your family and you deserve to get some credit and I will do my best and work hard to see that day come; the day when a stay at home mother is no longer considered as an unemployed person but as the most devoted working person in society. We give it all for free; we give it all to provide the society with a blossomed new generation and our entourage is not appreciating that enough. It’s enough for me to stop hearing this conversation:
Stranger: “Hi, do you work?”
Mother: “No, I am a stay at home mother.”
Really? No! Yes ma’am you do work. To get people to recognize your efforts you have to start identifying your own capabilities. Appreciate yourself to help others appreciate you. When they ask you if you work start answering by yes, I work; I do it all, I am a mother! Start by refusing to be listed as an unemployed, as a burden to society because you’re not, you are the essence of this world. A mother is the base and the foundation of success and of failure as well. You highly influence your child’s personality, and by doing so you control the quality of the upcoming generation.
Stay at home mothers, allow me to say that you are the world, you are the queens of the biosphere, and so be proud of yourselves.
This article’s goal is to help you get rid of the stay at home mother depression that keeps tracking you down. It is hard to have all your life limited in your loved ones tiny worlds but you can create many things out of this small environment, you can work on improving yourself and you can follow How to be Super Mom tips for a better life. Keep following us and we will do our best to make your life easier.
