Help me 😢

Is anyone else really emotional still? I feel like I still get upset really quickly (always been a bit emotional) but I just feel like I cry so much . I seem to take everything personally and I end up crying sometimes for hours m. I love my little girl so not sure if it’s very delayed postpartum depression, normal or something else all together, lack of sleep maybe 🤔 but I’m scared and I feel like it’s starting to affect my marriage and I just want to feel normal It would really help to know if others are still the same. My husband seems to think it’s normal cos of being postpartum but if anything I feel more emotional now almost 12 months in than I did at the start. Any advice is welcome

I still feel really emotional except I don't cry. I want to tho I just hold it back alot however my partner doesn't care about post partum so feel like that makes it worse tbf x

@Charisim sorry to hear that’ could deffo see why it would make it worse! It’s so hard eh 😩 some weeks I feel like I just cry all the time want to enjoy my last month of maternity not be an emotional mess 😢 I find it so hard not to cry (but I always have) no idea how to fix that!

I'm just not a crier thank god! I've been back at work a while now its nice to be out the house sometimes and abit more normal tbh x

@Charis aww that’s good! I wish I wasn’t I’m way to emotional 😭 and always in a negative way! Yeah I can see why I’m not looking forward to going back but I am hoping that it helps a bit. 🤞

I have to constantly hold back on crying If I think of how my baby is nearly 1 I nearly cry How we was done out of alot of money for a job that was never done I nearly cry Think about silly things nearly cry 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

OMG YES. This hits me so hard. That god I’m not alone. I get hit hard for no reason and I’m really shitty and hard on myself. I spoke to my doctor and we went back to the same antidepressant dose as the first 6 months. It’s been better now but for the past month or so it was really scary. Never self harm or anything just really defeated/tired/gloomy/low mood and emotionally drained.

@Susannah it makes such a difference to know you’rere not alone eh! 🙈! I keep feeling like my hormones and things should be back to normal by now but I just seem to cry whenever some small stress or other stuff comes up. Find it so hard to make stupid small decisions sometimes! I never know wheter to see a doctor or if it’s normal cos by the next day I will feel completely fine again - but I feel like at least once a week I end up in tears 😭 I’m glad your starting to feel a bit better - it’s scary not knowing why you feel that way xx

Yes! I was literally wondering what is going on with me today. I was not like this before I got pregnant (if I remember correctly). I have read it takes 2 years to feel ‘back to normal’

Nice to know that others are feeling the same way! I’ve been so worried that something was wrong with me. Always good to know there are others going through the same thing xx
