Idk if this would be post partum depression or not. Can anyone help? I know I love my daughter. My family isn't big as is, but they don't support me at all! They won't even talk to me since having her. I'm grateful that her dad and his family are involved and very supportive, but the non support is from MY family is hurting me. I feel nothing but sadness and fear that I'm going to fail my daughter. I feel very alone when her dad goes to work and it's just me and her. I feel like the days are just passing me by and I'm not enjoying them the way that I should.. idk
I was in the exact same position as you, my mother in law and SO family were great. I don’t have a big family either just my mom & she kicked me out when I was 4 months pregnant and so I was on my own until I got my own home with my SO. My man goes to school and work so I’m always home alone & I get depressed. But let me tell you girl, once you get the hang of it, it’ll get easier day by day. It’s scary at first, but it takes time to get used to and once you do you’ll feel great. Hang in there mama you got this! If you ever need anyone to talk to I’m always here🙂
It's scary at first. You're still adjusting to a newborn. Let your family know exactly what you need. Sometimes people give you space because they think that's what you want. Or you can always just...show up at the doorstep lol. If his family is more supportive then reach out to them. Food, cleaning, anything. Don't be afraid to speak up.
Try and get some fresh air everyday. Staying inside all day can make you feel more alone.
Im the same way. I dont have any support from my side of the family but my SO family is such a bog part of my sons life. I feel bad but I have to tell myself be strong for my son he needs me.
