Postpartum, “getting my pink back”, all the things
Show your support
Here in solidarity! I'm feeling the same as you lately, I didn't feel this way till about a few days/week ago. I completely understand and I think this might be Post partum rage/depression? Not totally sure. I feel myself getting sooo angry at my husband, especially during the night feed. I like.. am so angry and annoyed with everything he does. And he isn't doing anything wrong, he's a great husband and father. Idk what's coming over me but I don't feel this way towards my LO. And I also feel Soo dumb. Like I have no brain 95% of the time lol. I also randomly get sad throughout the day, maybe because I'm too tired to do anything. Not sure what all this means but you are definitely not alone mama!
My LO is about to turn 6mos on Thursday
I am right here with you. I feel the same way. I get so mad at myself. And my 2 year old. I get sad because I don't feel like I give my 5 month old enough attention since I have another child to take care of. And I have let certain chores go because I have 2 babies who need me and I'm home alone with them most of the time. And it's too cold for me to want to go outside, especially with a little baby. Plus we got sick so many times the past few months. Any recommendations for online therapy? I've tried to talk to my mom and MIL about how I'm feeling. It's not helpful. I told my MIL that I am at a breaking point and she just brushed it off.
It's totally normal, but yea possibility PP depression. Our hormones are all over the place, they say even up to a year. I was definitely feeling that way but I've been seeing a therapist and just getting out of the house, trying to do little things to take care of myself, ask for support if possible. It will pass, I personally am feeling much better now.
@Olivia It's as if I wrote this myself. I'm with you 100% on that comment.
That’s totally normal, try to be easy on yourself and speak up your sadness to your partner or family. I was in the same situation and used to cry under shower, my therapist helped me a lot! If you have any therapist try to ask help I decided to not use anti depressants medicine because of breath feeding.
