Struggling
Hey ladies… so I’m 4 months post partum and honestly my moods are just getting worse and worse 😔 I feel like I’m constantly snapping at my partner, wake up everyday in a foul mood, keep crying, feeling overwhelmed and just feel like my mind is going 1000000mph constantly!
I suffered with my mental health (depression and anxiety) majorty of my life but came off my medication way before falling pregnant. I was doing so well but I definitely feel myself slipping but the difference is now I have my little human depending on me who I love dearly and want to be nothing but the best for 😩.
My labour was beyond traumatic to the point I’m lucky to even still be here and that’s something I’ve tried to push at the back of my mind but I genuinely feel it’s something I have to deal with. I don’t like to speak to the few friends I have about how I’m truly feeling because tbh I just don’t even want to get into it, make them worry or just sound like a nuisance!
I just want to feel normal again 😔 the new normal with being a mummy..

I feel like this too - I’ve got a doctors appointment to discuss it as definitely feel like postnatal depression.
Feel similar as I've also struggled with those things prior but as the ladies above have said, defintely speak to the health visitor or gp about it. The health visitors have a specific team for this now which I've heard is good. If you want to reach out to a mum going through it too without feeling like a nuisance I'd be happy for you to message ❤️ hope you and everyone in the comments (and me) feel better soon
