Feeling incredibly down
Show your support
Sending lots of love! Is there someone else you could talk to? A friend or family member?
I am 4 weeks pp first time mumma and still have my off days. Feeling a little less anxious around the evenings. I was the same my first weeks when the sun went down me and my partner both would feel the heaviness of the night as just didn’t know how the night would go. I think everything seems more manageable in the day. I have been shocked of how much our relationship has been impacted which we are still trying to navigate our way back to each other, do speak to your Health visitor, I have had a few off days this week and they said they will be back next week for a support meeting just to check in with me. I have found it alot and been a mess and have felt completely broken which I am slowly coming out of that. I still have no enthusiasm to do anything, be kind to yourself you are still in pain and with the pain, tiredness and being needed is a lot. Hopefully once you start to feel less in pain you start to feel a little better I know I did after my c section x
I am currently 18 days pp and feel the exact same way right now. Emotions are all over the place and I just feel a shell of myself . I’ve spoke to perinatal mental health as I was getting worried. They said baby blues can really affect some people and it can last up to 6-8 weeks. But even if it’s baby blues you can still seek help, even if it’s just having someone from the mental health team check in or be a listening ear.
