Babe I resonate so hard with this. But we MUST shower. We MUST eat. We deserve those things, we NEED those things! You may feel guilty but keep reminding yourself that you are still a person and you need to take care of yourself.

I don't feel "guilty" ... That's not the word for it concerning myself. I just want to be the one to comfort him is all lol so territorial maybe? I don't rush either though. I just make sure he's fed good 1st. When he's fed good he's content lol

@Kat i guess its not guilt more like anxiety i think? idk yeah i want to be the one to comfort him too bc ik sometimes he just wants me

I get this so much too. I wish I could just put him back there. What has helped me a bit is having my husband asking for the baby and telling me to go shower, and giving me the time to myself instead of me having to ask for it

Is he content when he eats? I know when my baby is fed he'll just sleep on his dad. But if he's up fussing I always want to take him 😆

I am riddled with crippling anxiety. I feel this so much. I always eat so fast or shower so fast and think she’s crying the whole time even if I know husband is more than capable of caring for her. I had anxiety before her and it surely hasn’t gone anywhere. If anything it’s gotten worse. I don’t have any advice but just know you aren’t alone in this. 🤗

@Kat yeah he usually is! im the same if hes fussing i want him lol

@Ashley yep i had anxiety before my baby too so i feel you there
