4 months postpartum and depression is hitting me so hard. I'm so tired of suppressing my emotions and putting on a happy face around everyone. My daughter is the only one who truly makes me happy and gives my life meaning, but I can't help but feel so down. I honestly don't want to be consumed by these feelings. I'm trying so hard but some days are harder than others unfortunately.
@mermaidmeshy, I'll try thank you. I just feel like this is an internal thing that I somehow have to overcome on my own. I don't know if that's my depression talking :( but I feel helpless and that no one can help me.
I've never felt that anxious, but what helped me with my daughter is taking it one step at a time. She's been fussy and I've been annoyed and she could somehow feel my energy and it made things worse. I calmed myself down and just cuddled her and let her know it's okay and it helped her. I hope that can help you ❤️
Talk to you doctor, seriously. They won't judge and will get you the help you need. If it's therapy, meds, or both. (I fall into the both category.)
I've had too many friends either attempt suicide, or know they were thinking about it. Don't let yourself get to that point.
Personally, I'm holding back a panic attack because I can't get my 7 weeker to calm the hell down. I'm not doing anything wrong, she's fed, clean, and not sick. She's just being fussy. But my anxiety is off the roof. It's not her, it's me, and I have to remember that.
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...
I feel like all you girls on here hate me 😔 so I'm gonna delete this app ✌️
Hi my name is Chantal && I am a victim of the baby blues.. I just feel so horrible.. so emotional. I see everyone always happy && excited. I am quite the opposite. I love my baby dearly but I just feel so overwhelmed.. I never thought this would happen to me because overall I am a happy person. I always laugh && smile with an overall good personality.. This baby was planned..it wasn't a surprise so for me to feel this way is hitting me hard.. I just feel like I'm just a horrible mother at this p...

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
