Making time

     I recently had my fourth child and am dealing with postpartum depression. At my final check-up my Dr gave me a hug said I was not a bad mom for feeling they way I do and I needed to make time for me and cannot expect to be around my baby and kids all the time and perhaps I should go the local festival.
I am obviously depressed, have 4 kids, 2 with ADHD mind you, and you tell me I need to go to a festival where thousands of people will be?
   I was floored, I have had this man as my Dr for 8 years and thus to me therein lies the problem, he is a man. Yes he personally has never given birth nor had a c-section as I have. I do not think I am a bad mom, I am a stay at home mom, there is no time off.
  I have since decided time for a new Dr.
