Honestly, this last month has been hard. I love my son so much and I feel so bad that there's been so much drama since his arrival. So much drama with my mother in law, who I have been close with this whole time. Fighting with my husband because we're both sleep deprived and stressed. Fighting with my dad, feeling lonely. I honestly cry every day. I always fake to everyone like I'm doing so good but every day I think I can't do it. I cry all the time. I hate my appearance after labor, I hate how all my relationships are right now, I hate that I can't balance my emotions. even yesterday it took everything I had not to pick up a bottle of alcohol (I've never had a drinking problem) because I knew I'd drink myself sick. I honestly wonder what it would be like if I ran away from everyone. I can't handle life anymore.
Stress and depression comes with having a new baby. It doesn't necessarily have to be post partum depression. It's not an easy job. As far as relationships go you have to learn how to stay away from people who give you drama until you are emotionally ready to handle them. Never let anyone stress you. Maybe have dinner with your husband and you all talk about how difficult it had been but reassure one another they you're doing a great job. Being a mother is very hard but so rewarding. I was never diagnosed with post partum depression but I was always crying and sad. You are doing great. A lot of the times us moms are hiding how we really feel but we are great mothers to our children. It will get worse before it gets better but your baby is a reminder of happiness every day. Hold on momma😊
Ooh girl, sounds like me. I'm sorry, I didn't realize ur situation. I'm praying for you too! Me & my MIL. Me & my hubby, down on myself, grandma dying, faking that I'm OK to everyone. Lol sometimes u just gotta let out your feelings😝 it helps.
