Post partum depression

You are not a horrible mom for feeling like this. You’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and doing this mostly on your own, that’s a LOT for anyone, especially only 8 weeks postpartum.
It makes total sense that you feel angry and burnt out. You deserved way more support than you got, and it’s okay to grieve that while still loving your baby.
The fact that you’re showing up every day, taking care of your baby, and even reaching out like this says so much about you. You’re trying, even when it’s hard and that matters.
Just take it one moment at a time. And if those “I don’t want to do this anymore” feelings get heavy, please reach out to someone, you don’t have to carry that alone.
You’re not alone in this, even if it feels like it 🤍 Take it one moment at a time. Praying for you!

I am also suffering with post partum depression it’s such an isolating feeling and honestly not talked about enough , you are doing a fantastic job and remember you are strong you grew that little boy /girl and birthed him /her you have him/her and to him /her you are his/hers whole world , it gets easier I promise if you ever want a chat my inbox is open I’m more than happy to chat and give some advice ☺️ you got this mama ! 🩷

i’m also a single mum cause her dad didn’t want anything to do with it from the moment i told him, it’s hard being number 1 24/7 and i wouldn’t change having my girl at all but it is hard

it gets a little easier as they get older my girl is nearly 6 months now and i go out occasionally by myself but i just make sure not to coop myself up in the house, even if it’s a little walk with my girl just so im not feeling suffocated by being a mum

i go to baby groups to try and surround myself with mums because they know better than anyone how hard being a mum is and it makes me feel less alone

you just have to remember that you are you baby’s whole world and they couldn’t ask for more - you’re doing your best and that’s what matters

i did talking therapies during pregnancy and early post partum and they really helped so hopefully it works for you

also becoming a mum is a big change for anyone and your just getting used to it, it will get better x

Horrible moms never feel like horrible moms. You’re far from being one! I just had my second baby and also have a 20months old and it’s sooooo hard. As a therapist myself I love that you already looked for some help (but hate that they put you on a waitlist). You’re doing all the right things and time will help. Remember, feeling like this is only temporary 🥹❤️‍🩹
You’re doing great mama and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed and not wanting to do it anymore, you became a mom but you’re HUMAN. Keep reaching to whoever, even just on here. You’re never alone, moms always stick together ❤️
