So… am I overreacting??
Hey guys. I really just been wanting to talk about my feelings. So before I’ve had my son, I was mostly happy on the outside but deep down, it was different. Like I wasn’t depressed or anything then, but now since I’ve had him, I’ve just been feeling all down & just not in the middle to do most things I enjoy doing. Then there are sometimes I feel as if I don’t do anything but work & take care of my baby. I’m the other hand, I be wanting to go out & enjoy doing those things again but feel like I can’t because of numerous reasons. So really, I just feel as if I’m constantly & easily getting upset about “little” things.

@Christine it could be my sleep because I would run on maybe like 5-6 hours… 7 if I’m tired enough 🤦🏾♀️ I pretty much haven’t breastfed. Like i just really need to find more hobbies on what will keep me in a good mood really.
I get that. My baby just had palate surgery so I've been going insane and depressed since I don't get any sleep atm. It's hard for moms to feel like themselves because we lose grey matter in our brain that allows us to be more alert and that usually is what causes women to feel distant from themselves and others Hopefully you can find a hobby that you can do apart from baby. Even if it's going once a week to get your nails done

How is your sleep? Are you breastfeeding? Not getting enough sleep can impact you negatively. Breastfeeding lowers your oxytocin levels which also brings your mood down. Hormones after a baby are wack for several years. You're not overreacting
