I need help

I’m pretty sure I’m going through PPD, it doesn’t seem to get better no matter what I do and it’s a lot I feel like I’m losing my mind, I have no one to talk to about this what can I do to go back to feeling like myself? I feel like I don’t even want to be here 😕 My husband and I are currently going through a separation due to him not wanting to work and provide and him being dishonest and talking to other women… but it’s like since we broke up he doesn’t help emotionally or financially, to him he thinks calling every few days for 10 minutes to see our son really quick is okay, I tried talking to him about how I’m feeling and he basically just said he’s trying to get his life back together to provide for his family but that doesn’t mean ghost us… I’m in college double majoring at that with a full time job and I’m STILL taking care of our child, he’s in school too but it’s not the same

Hey there 👋 i feel this way currently as well with my one week old bby girl. I cry alot and have so much anxiety and paranoid thoughts & how i will do all this etc... I'm going to try and get out of the house some while i have my mom's help to not be "sheltered" inside always. Drink alot of water. Try to text some friends and have a get together to be socializing, &/or make new mom friends! I'm here as a penpal. We can talk if ya wana and be like whats up etc everyday :) or also maybe finding a hobby you can focus on each day or a new one? even if at the house,just having something to look forward to

I would suggest opening up to your ob or family doctor. My OB provided me with services for ppd and my family doctor got me connected to a pp psychiatrist. I’m currently on medication and see a therapist. That doesn’t mean you need medication or a therapist but it’s worth being open minded about it

My village is missing

This is a late night vent session obviously but l make it short. My boyfriend and I went to a basketball game in Orlando. His sister was babysitting our son. We come back tonight for her to say he slept for 6 hours and just woke up. Now what type of shit is that. I’ve been feeling lately like no one cares for me or helps out in the way I need them to. People want to see you smile but don’t try to find the cause when you’re not. I’m an only child and my mom lives far. I feel very alone even with the dad involved. I feel alone and like I’m doing it all. I can’t even imagine having another kid which I want but this life here is tough

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

Whyyy?

I get horny when my man isn’t around but when he’s around and in the mood I’m not. This last Thursday he made me squirt a lot for by birthday. We only get intimate like 2 times a month.

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.
