Meditation helps me

it is not working for me😭

thanks dear
Let's make a great friends

Take your mental health seriously. I talked to my doctor about how my anxiety was increasing during my pregnancy and she put me in touch with some therapists that I could see. I’ve been doing regular therapy for a few weeks now, and it’s been very helpful. Wishing you lots of success!!!

Talk,cry, spend quality time with yourself trying to get youself back on track try to be productive doing things that are good for u even if it’s just a face mask and some music or eating your favorite food with a movie u like try talking to a doctor and maybe ask if theirs any mum groups where people just talk about their frustrations and feelings talking really does help even if your talking to yourself sometimes it can let off some steam and make sure to look in the mirror and complement yourself I used to do that all the time when I was at my worst and I did it enough that I started to actually believe it

Do things that make you happy! Remember your why! You got this!! Sending lots of love and light!

Change your mindset and decide not to feel that way. Learn about “above the line thinking”. Hope it gets better!

Vitamin D has been proven to help with depression. I take quite a large dose (see a doctor or possible naturopath if you can) and it has had a very positive effect on me.

Not sure if you’re into journaling, but journaling daily has helped me tremendously. If you struggle with what to write, consider the ones with prompts. Praying for your light! 🙌🏾🫶🏾

So sorry you are feeling this way. Please reach out to me if you like so we can talk xx

are we circumcising our boys? or leaving that to dad?

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.
