Just need to rant

I am going through some changes and i know it's not normal I do have mental health concerns and I'm starting therapy. I have to. I been married for 10 years I have a 5 yr old son. Our marriage has been a roller coaster of emotions a lot of yelling arguing just a real mess. I went to a program for over a year got a house had a job and then my husband came back. When I lost my job I relapsed. Okay so now I'm just down to 420 friendly. I have anxiety agoraphobia bi polar disorder PTSD I can't even bring myself to go out side it's like the hardest thing ever. I don't have a support system but I am about to start therapy and my son to. I'm so angry at my husband. He cheated with my best friend for 2 years and when I found out shorty after I went to a rehab program. I thought I was past it after a year but I never dealt with it I just swept it to the side. But it broke me it broke my spirit. I finally asked myself why so much anger I'm not happy I'm hurting my son disrespects me like his dad. It's a mess I'm so tired and worn down that I just wanna give up. I hate myself because I'm so tired of him being here and not helping that I thought about leaving and never looking back. Sorry for the rant

I'm just mentally tired it's a long story

This made my heart for you. Not to pitty or give you sympathy because I don't think thats what your after but ..danm do I understand the true deep meaning of tired you are referring to. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need someone. Keep being resilient be proud you are taking steps and I truly hope your next life chapter is kinder to you and gives you the support you need. Hugs

Reading this made me think I could have wrote a lot of it myself. If you need someone to talk to you can message me. I have gone through a lot of the mental health shit and my kids disrespecting me. Still go through some of it daily.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
