Tired.

Something about a nice hot shower just seems to bring me to my senses or walking outside

I don’t know if I’ve felt that way exactly. But I find my doom scrolling essential. Like I need to do it each day to remain sane lol.

A bath while listening to music that calms you down. Taking a walk, night walks work for me more, it’s more quieter / fresh air. Journaling make a cup of tea or your favorite drink.

Do you have a partner? I would recommend communicating with them about how you feel. I did the same recently and it's really helped. Also embrace "good enough" parenting. Don't stress trying to make everything perfect. E.g house can stay a little messy, dinner can be bread and butter one night etc.
I also am finding ways to make my day a bit more sensory friendly. E.g music on in the background, a scented moisturiser for my hands, my favourite drink etc.
If you start to feel resentment towards your baby or you start to struggle to connect please speak to someone as that might be PPD.

I find getting up before everyone else and just sitting with a cup of coffee in silence watching the sunrise and remembering how lucky and grateful I am that I get to do all these things helps me in the mornings. Then at night when my daughters asleep I find myself looking at pictures of her and missing her which makes everything so worth while 💕

But during the chaos of the day it's HARD.

Do you have your partner with you? Literally HIS DAD that’s why I do. And his great with him tbf and understands rest for me. If not that, then pop them somewhere secure (play pen, bouncer, etc) and do something for yourself girl. Or just SIT

shopping spree🤣 also hubby and i take a bath when our kids are deep asleep🥹
