Postpartum mental health
I'm really struggling. I have two under two. My PPD is pretty bad. I'm on birth control and antidepressants. I even bumped them. Last month. I'm in therapy. I'm even using this random bird game app on my phone to help me get my feelings out and do breathing activities.
I have a village. I have a husband. I literally go to my mom's house everyday with the kids. I'm a stay at home mom.
Yet I'm still struggling. I'm still having suicidal thoughts. I'm still struggling to connect with my kids and partner. I'm still crying all the time and hating myself. I'm so exhausted. Where do I even go from here? I'm even praying and trying to get closer to God because I'm so desperate to feel okay again. I know I love my kids but now I feel so resentful because I'm stuck in the biggest pit of my life.
What do I do now?

Does anyone else have a really shy and timid toddler. My little boy is 22 months old now and he’s so withdrawn and reserved. He gets really upset and overwhelmed if people approach him or even if people make eye contact with him sometimes he just looks down and runs back to me. Sometimes we’ll go out and he’ll just ignore that people are there and enjoy himself but some days he just can’t let go and he’s so hyper vigilant of everybody around him. The other day we have some friends round who have children the same age and he’s met them before, but he wouldn’t come in the living room where they were for a good 20 minutes. I can’t help but think I’ve done something wrong and I feel so terrible for him. I feel terrible leaving him at the Childminder she only has two children which he doesn’t mind and he has got used to them, but she takes him to a playgroup and says that he just doesn’t settle there at all 😔 sometimes noises really bother him. He has every single noise and wonders what it is and sometimes even the sound of aeroplanes were really spooked him out and then he’s really thrown off then and can’t enjoy himself.
Any tips or advice would be really helpful for how I can help him come out of his shell and know that the world isn’t scary

Common illness
My LO (3 y.o) started preschool late February. Prior he had never been sick but once. Since he has been sick 3-4 times me leading to his first ear infection we maybe get a week and a half between illness! How often was your LO sick around this age?

How do I redirect my toddler from hurting the baby when she finds it hilarious. She laughs when she hurts him and when we acknowledge the problem. I’m at a loss for what to do. My toddler is 18 months and the baby is almost 3 weeks
