Was diagnosed with postpartum depression today. Had my daughter 13 days ago.
I heard stories of woman with postpartum being frustrated with their babies all the time. Or angry. But I don't feel an ounce of anger towards her. I just don't feel connected. I want to cry all the time. And it's terrible for me to feel like I don't want to be around my daughter. Looking at her makes me want to bust down and cry. Her and my husband feel so far away from me mentally. And it's so hard. I'm supposed to be happy aren't I ? I finally met my little girl face to face. Held her on my arms. And she is a spitting image of a mix of me and my husband. So why? Why do I not want to be around her. Why do i feel she's so far away. Why do I feel I haven't bonded.
It hurts.
To anyone feeling just pure sadness after labor don't be afraid to reach out as quickly as possible..... It's not a joke, postpartum depression is very real. And it makes you feel less of a mother. For me it felt good to tell someone other than my husband how I feel. And I will be getting proper treatment. I just want to know why I feel the way I do :(

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...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Hope you feel better soon! I'm sure you will ❤️
