I felt this way to the point of severe depression when I first quit my job to be a stay at home mom. I still struggle sometimes but I try to do stuff just for me when I can. I’ve started working out again which helps a bit. Also my husband and I make sure to do a date night once a month if we can. Helps us reconnect without the kids for a couple hours. My biggest advice though is to find something that is just for you. Maybe it’s a girls night with friends, a hobby, carving out time to learn something new (crochet, bread making, painting, ect. Whatever you like) you are a mom first and foremost but that’s not all you have to be.
I feel half my hobbies I can’t do bc he’s too little he gets into everything I can’t see or cut out fabric with needles or paint or do crafts bc he’s too little puts in his mouth I don’t have any girlfriends that’s why I’m on this app to do something with no one ever plans anything or wants to do anything just texting
I’m almost 2 hours from you or else I’d totally be down 😭 maybe we could road trip one day. I’m right there with you. My daughter is 18 months so any time I try to do something I either feel guilty for not devoting all my free time to her or she makes it literally impossible to do it 😭 I also have no one near by. All my family moved to Tennessee last summer and I have no friends :/ just me, baby, and hubby and his fam
Yeah I get that. I used to paint a lot but that has gone out the window until my 2 year old gets a little older. I make sure to read still though every chance I get. It’s just a rough season. It will get better.
I’m so sorry girlie but I can relate COMPLETELY!!! I’m also from MI if you ever wanna link up and chat! Unfortunately the best advice I can give to you is that YOU have to make some changes because it isn’t going to get better, in fact It’s only going to get worse and then not only will you constantly be sad but your little one will also be constantly feeling the tension. I’ve been dealing with it for 10 years now and have yet to make changes . It’s not easy I’m sure but with the right support and friends it’s definitely possible!!! That’s honestly the reason I joined this app, to try and find some friends that will understand what I’m going to because my fiancé has literally pushed everyone out of my life smh
I feel for you I'm in detroit I can't take that emotional overload off your hands but you need a day to yourself message me we can hang out bring your arts and crafts too girl
I’m with you 🫶🏻 I hope things get better for you love
