PPD or do my friends just suck?????
I’m really struggling with ONLY the isolation that comes with motherhood as I’m sure a lot of you can relate… but I’m lowkey so tired of my (distant) support system suggesting I’m dealing with ppd. I really don’t believe that because I’ve actually stayed very much the same since having my son. I have tried to remain as active and social as I was and keep trying and trying with my friends and I get crickets or hit with I’m busy. I tried reaching out to my best friend about how I’m feeling and that absolutely blew up and didn’t go well… which led me to this app but… how do you know if you’re struggling with PPD if the isolation isn’t on my end?? I get everyone is busy and has lives but I’m not being dramatic it was an insanely quick change and only my guy friends remained the same. My best friend has visited me and my son 3x since September. I really didn’t expect that out of her. Ugh I tried asking for more texts snaps or just keeping me in the loop of her live and her plans
Show your support
It’s like really disheartening because you hear about it and everyone says they scatter but even when you do ask for what you need they don’t come thru for you
Exactly! I definitely went through PPD and it hurts worse with no support system. My bd alienated me from my family, so I had no one to reach out to expect for 1 friend.
How long did it take you to adjust

I felt the same way. I lost all my friends after high school and only had my kid's dad and felt so alone. Unfortunately, he wouldn't make me feel any better. It really doesn't take much to just respond back or stop by, so I always wondered why no one would reach back out.
