Baby blues return

After the first week of being miserable, I started feeling like myself again. Now I'm in week three and my sudden anxiety and depression keep coming back. I feel bored with life and nothing is bringing me joy. I really thought I was past this 😭😭😭 How is everyone else handling this?

Were you induced?

@Siera no, I had a scheduled c section

I just like to ask because inducing almost always causes PPD. I’m sorry you’re feeling this way and know you have so much more purpose than you realize. When you wake up in the morning even while doing mundane everyday things just smile and remind yourself how blessed you are. I think you’re confusing peace with boredom.

@Siera honestly I grew up around so much chaos that any kind of peace or silence makes me anxious and my baby happens to be very calm and sleepy so I never know what to do with my time

I come from a drama-filled always something happening family and I struggled with peace for a long time. Nothing to worry about and it was like all I ever wanted. Then when you get it you truly don’t know what to do with yourself. Just know your environment must be amazing now. A good baby, you’re beautiful and your only problem is boredom. I have found so many ways to cure this. I have bees, I have chickens, I can do full gel nail sets on myself better than a professional, I absolutely love to read. Also if you social media. Try breaking from that and enjoying outside more. You may notice a big difference in your mood just from some sun and fresh air. X

@Siera thank you so much❤️ you're right, this is the best time for me to find new hobbies and things that make me happy. I have no idea what they are, but I think I'm going to keep trying things I didn't think about before to see if I actually like them

Sending my love. X
