I never thought I'd be the mom constantly thinking of taking her own life after childbirth. I always thought "no that definitely won't be me". I never thought is be the mom who self harms after childbirth. I always thought "no that definitely won't be me". I always thought i would be calm, happy, and everything would finally feel okay. But reality is, I'm drowning. Every day is a fight to stay alive. but I promise I will. I will stay alive for my baby and my husband and I will be okay.
You are not the only one feeling that way! Get help asap counseling helps ❤
@smash6684 thank you ❤ Nope... I literally have nobody unfortunately. 😕 the only relatives I'm close to is across the country. I'm going to a counselor right now but it's really not helping much. I'll be fine the day after I see her, but then the rest of the week I'm back to normal. 😕
@mumstasin No, I haven't. I don't want to because I have a history of depression and the first thing they're going to try to do is put me on medicine which I don't want. 😕 I'm not sure if it's ppd but it seems like it. I have anxiety literally 24/7, insane bits of rage, and self harm/suicide thoughts. I'm not sure if it's just hormones or ppd though and I don't want to ask my doc because of that. 😕
Do things that distract you. Go on walks! I promise you it'll help clear your mind. Find a hobby if you don't already have one. Go on dates with your husband on the weekends without baby. Or even do your makeup and hair! I was battling with the same things you did. It's still a struggle for me to this day. I live with my in laws, so I easily get depressed. I'm constantly thinking I'm just a statistic of a young mom that won't ever go to college. But I will go to college and I will do the things I want. In due time.
I feel the same at times! If you are ever in need of mom talk! You can message me
