is it just me or did anyone feel like they lost their self when they had a baby?? like you feel so overwhelmed and you feel confused.. like it feels like your not yourself anymore.. this responsibilities , this sleepless night, this baby crying, being alone everyday no one to talk to.. I feel like I need a break from this.. just a couple of days off of everything's that going on, just a couple of days of goodnight sleep.. just couple of days to find myself again.. just a couple of days to breathe... I love my baby but I don't wanna lose myself along the way.. I feel emotionally and physically tired..
I feel horrible having this feelings, I shouldn't feel this way, this is my responsibilities this is how it's going to be like from now on.
maybe talk to your doc every woman is different but you may have postpartum depression radically with everything u have on ur plate
@motherofdragons914, that's what I'm doing.. I kept watching TV but then later I will find myself crying..
@316ftm, I keep saying that to myself too.. but I feel like this time tho It's needed for me to have break or I'll lose it..
this happened to me with my first I was a single mom I lived with my mom and she worked 2.jobs so I could be with my son but I had no break and no friends it really weighed on me , get out as much as you can walks what ever it is do things for you while baby is sleeping ur fave music or movie you will not lose ur self you will discover a new you a step get you it takes time and is not easy but you got this be careful I had post partum depression which made it harder on me but I made it through and now am waiting on my second lol man you are strong g and you got this if you need anything just shout 😁😁
exactly how im feeling right now. i had my daughter almost 2 weeks ago and its been rough. shes strictly breastfeeding which is extrememly demanding. its hard dealing with all these emotions on top of having no sleep and a screaming newborn. im just trying to remind myself that it wont be like this forever. things will get easier just hang in there
@reaganmommy2015, thank you it's nice to talk to someone who can understand this.. I told my family and my husband how I feel.. and they all just said why am I acting this way I'm home everyday all I need to do is to take care of the baby nothing else..
@izner14, I know sometimes especially husband they don't realize how much a baby takes your time. If you ever need someone to talk to I'm here for you.
@blessing2016, thank you, that's what I do to survive this everyday.. I haven't gotten enough sleep since I gave birth... I can't get any help from anyone coz I don't have any of my family here..
I hear this normal and that's why family or friends Are needed after having a baby so mommy can sleep and rest , Just breathe and look at that baby that you made ❤️
@reaganmommy2015, thank you.. no one seems in my family nor my husband understand me.. which it makes it worst..
😞I know how you feel if I lived by you I would give you a little break
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

You're not alone. I was the same exact way. Being home alone with baby was difficult for me. Emotions and hormones and stress and huge changes were overwhelming. All I did was cry. Being sleep deprived made it a million times worse. The best thing to do is talk to people you love, ask for help, take a break, get out of the house, find someone who's been through it before to vent to. I've been through it and I've overcome it. It gets better, I promise! Message me anytime! Hang in there!
