Since having my second child I don’t feel myself any more, I’m constantly stressed, depressed and just feel generally pushed away by my partner, he hardly spends time with me anymore and when he do pay attention it’s always when I’m depressed and just want to be on my own, how can I resolve this :( I love my girls 1yr and other is 3 weeks almost 4 weeks xx
@symonejones I know the feeling. I was so scared to admit I was drowning with my first baby. I became this horrible monster to my husband, shouting at him all day. Eventually a fight broke out and I just cried telling him that it was actually how I was feeling, how depressed stressed low worried anxious I was feeling that was making me like this. I asked for his help, I told my health visitor, she did nothing BTW. But my husband told me to go stay with my mum for a week, he drove me up and it was the only reason I didn't completely break. Slowly I began to find out that other mums went through similar things. Made me feel less alone and insane.
Do talk to your nurse, health visitor, doctor, whoever you're comfortable with. What you're feeling happens to many of us, I had it with baby 1 let alone with 2 under 2. Already preparing for the worst with that. If not just find a place, a friend, a parent, this app somewhere to vent.
@shannonn95, I have tried talking to him but this is men we talk about it goes threw one ear out the other and I have my family nurse in 2 weeks so going to speak to her :( it’s just hard for me to talk really I hardly speak to family and my family is really really close xx
