Hi Jenn, I know that you don’t feel strong bond with your son, but I think you’re a wonderful mom. I don’t comment much on here because I’m so overwhelmed and tired from taking care of my son all day, but when he goes to sleep at night and I finally can breathe and scroll on my phone, I sometimes read the questions you post here and they’re so helpful because a lot of your questions I go through them too. I sincerely hope you get the help you need, but in the meantime if you just want to vent, or talk about nothing related to motherhood, please feel free to message me. I will reply back.
Hey mama. Sorry you are going through this. Life is tough sometimes. I pray you get the help you need and find the strength to go on in Jesus precious name, amen. Remember God loves you.
@Maddie Thank you Maddie for reaching out! It was tough. I forgot to mention that I started birth control last Tuesday so idk if that played a factor too?! I told my husband that if this happens again — I’m going to the hospital.
@Silvia PPD/PPA definitely messes me up! I was tired for a couple days and I started birth control so I think my hormones were messed up! And I do have meds on hand but I have it only if it’s a real emergency because I don’t like to take meds. I have therapy today so I hope that will help me!
@Layla Thank you girl! You are a wonderful mom yourself! I really am HARD on myself and idk how to give myself grace. I didn’t grow up with a strong mother figure that was loving so I guess I struggle with loving myself? Idk. I do have therapy once a week so I hope today’s session will help. Thanks for your comments! I think I just needed a pick me up and to be reminded that I’m doing the best I can! Again, I don’t have these thoughts for myself on my own. It’s just not wired like that for me
@Blessing Thank you for the prayers! I think your prayer helped! I feel better mentally, emotionally and physically now. I think I needed to let the rage out and just feel my emotions.
@Jenn I am so glad to hear from you :) I completely understand of being hard on yourself…I am the same way. I guess I just want to make sure I’m doing the best that I can because I don’t want to regret later that I could’ve done more. If we can’t give ourselves grace on our own, then maybe we can give it to each other haha
Sorry you’re going through that. You should check in asap, or seek therapy. Work out or find a hobby that helped me when I was depressed. Even going to church helps people. You can always reach out.
@Layla Thanks! Giving myself grace isn’t supposed I know how to do and I agree — giving it to each other is probably the best way to go about it! Same — I just rather give my son my all then neglect what I could of given him.
@Janeth I didn’t end up not checking myself in and I’m okay but still have some days I’m like “I don’t want to do this. I don’t want my son anymore” it’s so hard! My hobbies are gone and idk what else to pick up.
Hey love, I’m so sorry all this is happening to you. I think maybe you should take a quick visit to the ER and get treatment. Motherhood is a hard adjustment for any woman. I’m here if you need someone to message. I’m very non-judgmental and I can just be listening ear. Sending a bunch of love and hugs your way.
