Still struggling with PPD
My toddler is 2 and I'm a single mom now. I work full time, take care of my little full time. I have no village and no help from my daughters father or his family. We are on our own. I'm over stimulated. My daughter will guilt me into breastfeeding at night . I want my body and personal space back but she makes me feel really bad about it. I dont go out or have time to myself because im a single mom and cant afford it. I feel trapped. I was such an independent person, great social life and an amazing career. I had to leave my career to accommodate to being a single mom and the only social life i have is when I dream of it. Is anyone else still dealing with PPD
Your time will come, it gets easier. Just remember a child is a blessing and there are always more ways to get money other than just a job. Personal space will come when there is someone who can watch your child, or take advantage of night time and nap time. Love the space you share with your child. Find other ways to have the social life you want. If there is something you want, make it happen with your child. It's not impossible even though everyday it might feel impossible. And yk the saying fake it till you make it? If you act as if the depression is gone, and conjureup the strengthto do things as if it isn't there, eventually it's just not there. And things feel right and you become proud of yourself. You are so strong. And stay strong mama❤️
