Really need help
I am at the end of rope today. My baby now dislikes diaper change and will do everything to resist it. I live in a place where there is no door or ceiling for rooms except for bathroom and therefore can’t cook since my baby wakes up every time. But I need to make solid food for baby and his cries for wanting the food out fast is getting me, even though I know it is normal. I was so tired and am really feeling like I can’t live another day. I told this and how hard it is to my husband who came home from work and he said “well, it’s your personality” which is pushing me off the edge. I don’t think I can live anymore. All I needed was for him to acknowledge how hard it is and maybe that we can both work toward finding better ways to change diaper or make food since it’s the environment that’s making it hard, not our baby. I thought he understood the challenge of taking care of our baby but I’m heartbroken that he said that. I’m outside in my car far from my house and am crying so hard I don’t know who else to talk to besides this beloving community.

Hi momma 🫶🏻 I’m at a loss for words reading your message, please take that time in the car to let all the tears out and try to think about your baby and how much your baby needs you and depends on you 🤍 I know it’s so so hard most of the time and we don’t always have the conditions, but I pray you find the better road, the road where you romanticize about your goals and how good of a mom you are with what you have and who you are. We have to remind ourselves all the god things we are constantly in order to get through. I encourage you to please seek out help for yourself in whatever way you think best, whether it be a mom friend you can find comfort in, getting out more often with baby if possible, or even trying out a licensed health professional, I’ve been there, I’ve needed that help, and I am better today because of it, please don’t think any less of that option because sometimes it’s exactly what we need. I am here, if you need someone to talk to! I send you the biggest hug momma!
Please get back to your baby safely 🤍
Im so sorry you had such a rough day, momma. You are doing such an amazing job. Being a mom is the hardest job in the world. Things will get better ❤️ Before we know it our kiddos are going to be feeding themselves and sleeping on their own. Your baby needs you, momma… for literally everything! It is tough and intense sometimes but tomorrow is a new day. I hope you feel some relief from talking on this app and taking a moment alone to let it out and feel your feels. There is so much support out there… reach out for help! I did when things got really tough and im a better mom for it. We all need help from time to time! Your care provider and your child’s pediatrician can connect you to resources and support. Theres also 988 and the crisis textline in the states if you wanna talk to someone confidentially 24/7. Sending you a big hug 🫶🏽

So happy to hear you’re back home with your precious babe! You are so welcome, us moms are all in this together 💪🏽 It shows strength that you were able to talk about your struggle, and I’m sure so many other moms can relate to what you’re feeling.
