Am I crazy?

I’ve been very moody and sensitive, honestly also rude to my boyfriend (bd) and I honestly feel like a monster! ( I have depression and anxiety and haven’t been able to take my medication) I don’t know what to do? 🥺

Look up ‘the crappy childhood fairy’ on you tube and watch a few of her videos. It kind of sounds like you might be having emotional flashbacks that your medication usually reduces

I don't want to assume, but I see you're five weeks pregnant. Did you stop when you found out you're pregnant? Because (a) there are safer alternatives for most medications and (b) sometimes the benefits outweigh the risks. I personally stayed on my mental health medications, and they are the only reason that I didn't bite my partner's head off. So I just want to say, if the natural/non medicated remedies don't help enough, medication is better for baby than the stress sometimes. Feel free to message me if you want to talk more about it.

Also I want to say: you're not crazy. Pregnancy hormones can throw ANYONE outta whack, and being off your meds on top of that (no matter why it is) makes things that much harder. You will get through this. That first trimester was the hardest adjustment for me so far. Currently in second trimester and mostly I just cry a lot lmao I'm less snippy and stuff now.

I struggle with the same thing😭 my poor husband has been really struggling with it but he’s so sweet and is trying to help and understand why and what I’m going through.

The same thing happened to me. Once I found out I was pregnant, I switched to safer meds and then eventually just went off psychiatric meds in general. Just to note, I was taking an antidepressant and an antipsychotic at first. Anyways, for about a month after going off my meds, I was an emotional WRECK. Arguing with my bf everyday (we had NEVER argued prior), blocking friends, family etc. The raging pregnancy hormones mixed in with all that didn’t help either. However, I have leveled out since then!! Honestly I’m doing pretty good now considering the circumstances. Not perfect, but a lot better. Things will probably get better for you as time passes! Just hold on

Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment, I have an doctors appointment so I’m hoping I can get back to “normal” lol I’m very spiritual and I’m now 9 weeks along

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?

People telling you your baby is hungry..

I know people don’t always mean it in a bad way and are trying to relate, but when people say my baby is hungry when chewing his hands. I feed him regularly. He eats pretty much every 2 hours. He isn’t hungry, he just loves chewing and exploring his hands. Or they say something about teething, which it is also not, as he isn’t unsettled with it. I have looked into it myself and can be common and neither of those things! He has done it most of the day since 2 months old.
