Lost

I’m sorry that you feel this way but remember you are doing a great job your children don’t care weather they have everything they won’t remember any of it they will remember who was there for them and that is you
I’d recommend talking with your Heath care provider about how you are feeling to see if you can get some help in the mean time if you need a chat ect I’d be happy to listen, but hold on in there it dose get better x

You got this mama! I too know the struggle. Take a minute or two to yourself when you get the chance. Honestly sometimes I put my headphones in and play my favorite song in to drown out the crying and whining. Still attending to their needs but also trying to attend to mine. Praying for you !

I have a 3 year old and for me, depression and anxiety is a daily struggle. Your children will grow up knowing that's okay yo express emotions. You are a strong mommy. Give yourself grace. I am always here if you need to vent, chat, whatever. Sending you positive vibes. We all been there 💜

How are you feeling? Can we breakdown the specific things that are feeling overwhelming? The fact that your little one shows so much grace and affection is a beautiful sign that you are doing good, so hold onto that and we can take a look at the specific things making you feel bad.

It’s so tough at times, I understand how frustrating things can be. I’ve dealt with postpartum also & that is a hell I wish on no one... however, your babies love and need you so much & they’re cheering for you to pull through this so that you can continue to be the best possible momma you can be. ✨

Be patient with yourself, & remember it WILL get easier as they get older. ❤️

Also drink lots of water, take walks by yourself when you can, & remember to EAT! 🍽

When we’re feeling run down & using up all of our energy just to take care of the kids, it’s so easy to not even bother with eating but that will only make things worse on both your body & mind.

Know that you’re never alone & it is ALWAYS ok to speak up & reach out for help when needed. Sending you virtual hugs as I pray things start to feel much better for you soon. ✨ X

One day at a time, momma! You're a wonderful mom and your babies love you. Us mom's take on so many roles, but we're human and can't really do everything all the time. Show yourself a little grace and forgiveness. You got this. (((Hugs)))

Being a mum is so, so hard! You got this, girl.
Please inbox me if you ever want to chat xx

First, huge hugs to you! It looks like your little ones are close in age. My girls are 15 months apart and I so clearly remember that struggle. It is HARD. Hard for anyone! No one is impervious to the stresses of caring for little people, especially when you have two little ones. Be gentle with yourself. It’s ok to cry. They won’t remember (I promise!). It’s even more ok to reach out to family, friends, even nice slightly older neighbors who have 100% been there. If you can manage it - ask for the help! Even just someone sitting downstairs for an hour while you nap. Hop on one of the live chats here and talk or even just listen in. I so wish this app was around when I was in the throes of being a younger mom! It always feels better to know that you’re not alone and you 100% aren’t ❤️. Message me if you just need a random person to vent to. I had a few amazing gems of human beings in those early years and I feel like it’s a duty (and privilege!) if I could be that for someone else. ❤️❤️

I’m so sorry you’re feeling down.. if you live by me I would so help you out but I doubt it!! I’m in crappy Florida! You def need some you time, alone or with some friends! You gotta make sure you take care of yourself so you can take care of the little ones. I hope you are able to figure something out soon. I wish I could be more of a help:(

Mamma, you are doing an amazing job. It is so so hard when they're little and you're tired and just totally stressed. I don't want to assume, but if you have a partner, tell them you NEED a break. It's not optional. Take some time. Read a bit, do something that you enjoy, take a long nap. If you need someone to talk to I'm a pretty good listener depression and I are old pals. It does get easier. I can promise you that ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗

It is tough. And momma, sometimes toughing it out means hiring a mother's helper- for as long as you need. This is a marathon and you are allowed to pace yourself according to your well-being

Feel the same way I even got on some anxiety medicine that I'm even scared to start using

Awww sending you big hugs. ❤️

Cry it out!!! Put kids to bed and take a warm bath and cry it out. Listen to music. Find time for yourself!!!

Message me!!

Yes I feel you. I feel really overwhelmed at times too. Doesn’t help that I’m a single mum but I wouldn’t have it any other way xxxx

Oh mamma, you are doing an amazing job. Like it or not we are all human and none of us are perfect, we're all just doing the best we can. Apologising to your kids teaches them that its ok not to have it all together all the time, its ok to express your emotions and most importantly you can make mistakes and make amends. They will know that even on their very worst days you will still love them because we all struggle sometimes and you've taught them thats ok. I had really bad pnd with my first, here if you want to talk!! Sending heaps of love your way you're doing a great job and your kiddies think you're perfect!!

You're doing great mama❤

Send me a msg babez! I'm feeling you times are tough..... 😢

Mindfulness course could help. Helps you stay and focus on the moment not to think too far in te future or past. Be kind to yourself . Your doing your best. It will get better I been there
You've not given up and you identify what's wrong xx

I had a good cry earlier today. I think I know how you feel. Please please message me! A good vent helps. It clears the mind so we can think straight again. I know we are strangers but I’m sending you a big hug, Momma ❤️❤️

You’re doing amazing! Your raising 2 children it’s not easy! I only have one and that’s hard enough! Please give yourself more credit 😌

What support system do you have? Can you get more help from grandparents or other relatives? Does your toddler go to daycare? Could that be an option for a couple of days a week to give you one on one time with your baby?

Just know you’re not alone 🙂

I go through this soo many times! My 6 year old is pretty used to it and basically waits for me to apologize for being the way I am. I hate not giving my kids the mama they deserve because they are so beautiful! I have tried multiple antidepressants, and so far I have not found a cure 😕

You are doing well momma! Do you have anyone that can help you? Family or partner? You just need a break, time off for yourself.

My children are 14 months apart and it is very overwhelming when they were little especially when I was in a city where I had no family no friends and partner then was useless but I had to “get on with it” trained my mind into positivity and now life is much easier as they are 7 and 8.

Don’t give up it can only get better. Please be patient and think of these beautiful gifts you have.

Itll get easier Mama right now they need a lil more help cause they're lil but it flies so take every pic,hold them a lil longer cause it flies so fast then they become more independent and need you lesser and you will miss the lil days❤

Hey hunny ! Let’s talk send me a message ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is what helps me: when I’m feeling incredibly overwhelmed, I try and do the one thing I’m doing well. For example if I’m dressing my baby, I just pay attention to that and try to do that well. If I’m trying to sneak a bite in while the baby is in her bouncer, I try and do that well (not waste precious moments scrolling because I know that being nourished will help me feel better). By focusing on only the thing I’m currently doing it really decreases my overwhelm.

Im glad you’re in therapy and getting help through medication 💛 if it’s not working yet, maybe talk to your psychiatrist about other medication options. And let your therapist know that things aren’t better. As a therapist myself, it’s important for us to know exactly how hard things are. Maybe even let them know that you might need more support than therapy. There are more options other than just weekly individual therapy.

Hang in there; I know how incredibly hard this can be 💛

Is there a man in your life that is dragging you down?

Sending you love and positivity. Things will get better. Hope you have someone around to help you with things so you get five minutes to yourself

You really need help with your babies and take time for yourself
The maternity is so hard
We need a tribe

I’m praying for you! I have a 3 month old and she just rolled off the bed, she’s completely fine but I’m sitting here in disarray out of guilt cause one second she’s fine then 🤯 … it’s so intense being a mom, I’d say not only are they fed but you kept them and yourself alive then you are winning.
Us moms We are all here for you!

Virtual hugs sis 😩🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are not alone, we understand how you feel, we are with you, and praying for your emotional , and mental health. Just know that “ this too shall pass “ it will get better; also remember it takes a village. Ask for help, talk to friends / and family you trust and pray read and write down your feelings.

I'm going through it as well. 3y and 1y old. Sometimes is insane and I wish I were better to them.

Hey mama, I hear you. The first year after having my second I thought I wouldn't be able to make it. I cried many times for not being the mama I would like to be ( specially with my toddler). My husband was far from understand the deep S# that's to be the whole day trying to manage the " unmanageable". It took a lot of understanding about my own feelings, a lot of conversations with my husband and a lot of positive actions towards my toddler ( I had a response straight away after changing my behaviour) I find all the tools in gentle parenting books and since then it became my favourite topic.
I'm sharing some tips on positive response in this group. Be welcome to join. 🌷

Girl, I’ve been there so many times. If you need anything, I am here for you! You’re not alone in this 💛

You will get though this mama stay strong for the babies you got this keep your head up they are counting on you and they love you more than anything in the world try and rest your mind feel better

Hey muma I feel like we all go through this stage we may look like we have it all together but honestly it's it's battle day in day out ... .I've are alot older now so it does get easier but girl if you feel overwhelmed an like you need help reach out don't be afraid to do that ... xx

Dr Ian Harrison in the city specialises in PPD and can get your medication sorted. Sometimes the medication you’re on can make it worse or there could be another issue. Look up his website, he worked at tresillian for 15years as in-house psychology, so he is very experienced with what you are going through.
I hope you feel better soon 💕

I hope you're feeling ok and maybe doing a little better today 🤗🤗🤗❤️

I just had my 3rd baby, my two oldest ones are 8 and soon to be 6.. I forgot how hard it was to have a newborn , it's HARD. BUT! It does get easier, you will miss this young age eventually. Once they are just a little bit more independent it's so easier. Hang in there mama, you're not alone ❤️

Sending love your way. If you can, share how you are doing with someone close and tell them you need help. Praying for you sweet, Incognito mama! ❤️❤️❤️

Sometimes the only thing that helps is on the ground help. Get family to come over. Get a cleaner. Stick your toddler in daycare a few days a week. Get hubby to watch the kids while you nap.

Burnout is real and meds won't fix it. You need to be able to refill your cup.

❤❤

Try to remember this is not a permanent state. You will get through this. I second getting a second opinion about your meds if you can. Really take care of yourself whenever you have the opportunity.

So sorry to hear this ... stay as strong as you can - you not alone ♥️♥️♥️ but you must get more help! Shout and scream if you need ♥️♥️♥️

Hope you are feeling better . Yes what your are doing is not easy . Try just Dow one ring from everything for 10 minutes for every 6 hours . I know it’s rasy said than done . Things will get better

Hang in there love thank you for being so vulnerable and reaching out. Honestly you are doing better than you know, its OK to feel overwhelmed it happens to the best of us. Believe me you are not alone darling. Is there any possibility that perhaps you can have a friend or family member who can take babies for a few hours so you can have some self care and rest? Even if its jusg for a few hours it'll make a world of difference. Sending you warm cuddles positive thoughts and vibes and a whole lot of love🥰🥰🥰

Aw sweets it will be okay although it does take time.I too went through the same experience while I was pregnant with my baby who's a yr old now.The thought of my babies was the only thing that kept me going and I desperately want out,but just couldn't. So,I ended up seeking for professional help (psychologist). First I had to accept the situation and acknowledge it and that's one thing that made me heal alongside with having to talk to my psychologist who actually allowed me to suggest on how I wanted to go about some of the ways to get through it,the healing process. Sometimes I'd write it out on a journal I kept then or talk to her about it.Routines became so hard to follow as I had my 1yr old then. So,I did what made me feel slightly okay at the time,but it was haaaaaaard🥺😭. One thing I know for sure is that you will overcome it mamma and that's for sure and you'd have to do what you best feel comfortable with and good for you as we're all different,but talking to someone does really help.

Wishing you speedy healing and remember you're doing a great job and you're an awesome and an amazing mother to your kids. Don't be too hard on yourself. Take care,all the best....aroha to you..xoxo

You are amazing!!! Its hard and overwhelming and just drains you everyday. But you are trying your best. They need you and you Are there for them. Time heals everything.
