Coping with feelings

I wouldn’t change a single thing about having my son but the anxiety and overall feeling of constant exhaustion has made me feel like I’m not myself anymore . I feel horrible saying this because I love my son more than anything but I miss my sanity , I feel like a completely different person . No emotion , no thoughts , no enjoyment for anything . Sometimes I do feel depressed but even when I’m not feeling depressed I feel empty . Any other new mommas feeling this way ? :( will it get better ?

It does get better. My first is almost three years old and I have a 4 month old. I remember those times when my daughter was a baby and I felt all those things you're feeling. It felt impossible. I was so exhausted and stressed. I recently read her baby book and I could tell how incredibly stressed out I was just by what I wrote. Well now she's almost three, she sleeps eleven hours a night and I feel like we're doing great, except for the threenager attitude starting to kick in 😂 With my second I feel so much more in control, it has still been hard certainly, but I just feel better about everything and I'm enjoying his infanthood more than I felt like I could with my daughter. So yes, it does get better and we get stronger

Don’t feel bad ! I think a lot of mommas go through the same thing. This is my first baby and I kinda just feel like a robot at this point . I really don’t remember my old self and my body is just moving without any thought to what im doing. I’m sure it gets better ! I can’t wait for it to get better but im also trying to enjoy my baby as much as I can because he will only be this little one time. Hang in there momma ! I definitely get where you’re coming from and relate so much so much love to you💕

Sorry you’re going through this mama! It’s crazy how the exhaustion makes you feel so many emotions and they’re very real. Postpartum anxiety is a whole thing in itself. Praying for ease for you. Give it some time and it will surely get better God willing. Second time mom here(premie born in September but due in November) and also have a 19 month old. I recently had a breakdown from exhaustion. Felt like I never got a real break between the two and although this is not my first, it’s still super hard. I’m looking forward to better days. Take it easy!!

I'm so sorry you're feeling so exhausted 😩 is there anything anyone can do for you to feel better, maybe a helping hand.

Ensure you relate it to your doctor! Therapy along with the right medication can really help and even remove anxiety altogether but you really gotta work on it with the therapist to get to the root cause and eliminate it :) good luck!

Don’t feel bad the first two months I felt how u feel. I no longer feel that way but it was hard to get back to me or find new happiness in my life.

Same, I started an antidepressant and I feel much better. Get help if you think you need it, that’s best for you and for your baby ❤️
