Struggling
Show your support
You aren’t alone. I had a real dip in mood just before my first period came in post partum. I struggled to feel positive about anything at all and didn’t really speak out at the time. Please don’t feel you’re the only one stuck in a rut & continue to use this app to chat xxx
I feel the same
Try downloading the app “Untold”, it’s a great app for giving advice on anxiety and low moods and helping you reframe negative thought patterns etc, and just makes you feel supported without the help of other people. Hard to explain but it’s free so give it a try and you’ll see what I mean, I think it’s brilliant. I think only available for apple though x
Thank you for the validation and suggestions. It could be a combination of hormones as I just started my period and the change of season. I haven't been to any baby groups but may give that a try. I also struggle with small talk so I think it will be difficult making mum friends. I'm just hoping this is a short phase and things will start to feel better.
Sounds weird but this was exactly what I was looking for. You aren’t alone. And that means I’m not alone. Few really tough weeks here. Baby is generally so good but a cold, his jabs and teething have resulted in some tough days. Coupled with me and my husband bickering all the time - when we never argued before - and generally feeling like I have no one to turn to has definitely took its toll today 😢 here’s to feeling lighter again soon xx
@Louise I completely understand. I have also been bickering with my husband and it just leave a negative environment at home and makes me feel even more alone. It's hard when you have no one to turn to, especially when you see posts online saying to reach out to friends and family and lean on them for support etc. Hoping things start to look better xx
You're not alone, I am struggling too. This sleep regression plus the change in seasons is impacting me. I have a couple of mum friends but they've been busy for like a month or two and I haven't seen them. My family are great but I still feel lonely. I find it hard to make friends at mum & baby groups because I struggle to make small talk, or they are too busy/loud environments and I end up just watching the bigger babies play on the floor. I definitely have that trapped feeling.
