Feeling alone

Hi…my baby is almost one month and so far my mum was here from Italy to help me. She’s gone back from one week and since she left I feel alone,all my family is back home so I only have my boyfriend here(he’s really supportive and helpful in everything). I cry everyday because I don’t have no one else to help us,my boyfriend goes to work at 5pm until 11pm and in that moment I’m alone with the baby and I feel more lonely,my family call me but it’s not the same,I’m not able to do anything in the afternoon because I’m scared to leave the baby not near me(even if I have a monitor). Everything I was enjoying before pregnancy now I don’t anymore, all ‘friends’ now they are not contacting me anymore(just called at the beginning when the baby was born),I know there are also children centre to meet other parents but I don’t even want to go out to meet new people. I’m really struggling because I keep crying for loneliness and feel like I can’t do it and there’s never an end to this,in the night I keep waking up to check on the baby as I’m scared of something happening to him while he’s sleeping so I’m not even sleeping properly. I don’t even feel like going out for a walk,my boyfriend push me to go with him for a walk and the baby but I don’t feel like going out of the house. I don’t know if it’s depression post partum but anyone in the same situation?

I had horrible PPD and PPA after having my son. I cried all the time, I hated being a mom, I felt so alone and was anxious all the time about everything. I never wanted to be alone with him in case anything happened. You’re more than welcome to message me anytime ❤️❤️

Hi dear, speak to your GP or health visitor as it may be PPD. Otherwise, remember that you are doing an amazing job. London can be very isolated, it's a feeling many women get. keeping your baby warm, fed and clean for is a great achievement so far from your family so be proud. Brighter days will come ☀️

Yes I've been there! It's a horrible feeling. I would try and get out though. Even if it's just for 10 minute walk, grab a coffee. You might suprise yourself and feel like you've achieved something. Everyone heals differently. Don't be hard on yourself, it does get easier. How does your baby nap (cot or on you)? Do you have any time to yourself? X
