I’m so lost in my emotions

I feel like I’ve lost all of my support. I’m 7 weeks postpartum and I had no signs of PPD until about a week ago at least from what I’ve noticed. Nobody has noticed the change and lack of everything and that makes me feel even worse because it lets me know that nobody is truly here for me anymore. My mom and my boyfriend both agreed to keep an eye out for PPD because i thought I might have it bad because of my regular anxiety and depression. My mom has been so overwhelmed with her work I can see why she hasn’t been there for me as much lately but my boyfriend is no help whatsoever. I feel like anytime he “helps” I have to ask multiple times for it and even then he’s always so upset that he’s gotta get up and help. I get that he works and it can be very tiring but it’s not like he works a 9-5 every single day type of job. I just get so frustrated because I feel like everything is left for me to handle and this is my first time doing this i get so overwhelmed and frustrated doing it all by myself and honestly it makes me want to die. I find myself crying almost every night thinking how badly I wish I would just die. But what makes it worse is that I know if something were to happen to me my baby boy wouldn’t get the proper care because his father clearly doesn’t care as much as he should and my mom is so overwhelmed with work she wouldn’t be able to take care of him. I just don’t know what to do or how to handle this I’m so lost with everything and I wish I could just give up and walk away from my life but I can’t because I know I have to take care of my son.

Show your support

I feel you. My husband works all day so I'm home alone with the baby. I'm 9 weeks pp and it's like I feel like I'm been down more and I can't do nothing right.

Stay strong and know YOU CAN DO THIS!! PPD is so really and unfortunately SO common. This too shall pass, remind yourself how freakin strong you are. Your body grew this baby and birthed it. That in itself is definition of strength. Remember to take care of yourself too not just the baby. If you are not well, your baby won’t be either. I struggled with PPD too..since day 1. I still am. I have a supportive partner but it’s still so easy to get lost and overwhelmed in your emotions. Have you spoken to your OB? I reached out to mine and let her know how I was feeling and she gave me meds to help. They are helping me a lot with anxiety etc

I take care of baby and I barely can take care of myself and when he asked me to do something and I make a mistake it's a huge deal to him instead of knowing how much I have in my plate right now besides the financial struggles etc

I was diagnosed with ppa. Post partum anxiety and it makes life harder.always worrying worse case scenario. Even just sitting in bed I'm always thinking of every way possible lil man can get hurt. And it scares me. Therapist said it's due to all the stress I'm under

Ladies… it hurts my heart to hear you are experiencing this. I had PPD with my youngest and was suicidal. This is hard!!! Is there any way we can get you therapy? It literally was my only support and what got me through and why I am alive today If I can help in any way? Come over and clean, cook, watch your baby so you sleep, call and find therapy near by, sit and cry with you… literally anything please let me know. I will do it!!!! I will pray for you both. You are doing better than you think, I promise. You matter! Please stay!!!!
