feeling so lonely

I feel so lonely these days. I’m a little over 3 weeks PP and I can’t shake the overwhelming anxiety. It’s starting to feel like depression, I don’t feel like myself. I cry as soon as the sun goes down and some times through the night. But I’m not even always sure why? I love my baby so much. I don’t dread being with her or anything, I just feel so overwhelmed. My husband is amazing and he’s my best friend , so he’s not the issue. I just have no one else to talk to or relate to. I’m up all night …

You’re in the thick of it girlfriend! Between month 1-3 your hormones are a mess literally all over the damn place. I didn’t start feeling better and sleeping until 4-ish months. I did start taking small doses of melatonin early on that I don’t need anymore. Lean on your husband. Lean on friends. Message me if you need to chat :)

Being a new mom can definitely feel super isolating, especially if you maybe dont have anyone you can relate to nearby. You're hormones are most likely all out of whack and you're probably super sleep deprived and that can make everything feel super overwhelming and intense. A lot of women experience something called the sundown scaries, there's a bunch of videos on TikTok about it and some really helpful tips. If you haven't already I would try to express to your husband that you feel like you might be experiencing a bit of postpartum depression. If you feel like its getting a bit too heavy I would definitely seek out a professional to talk to who can help guide you through. You got this mama🤎

What your feeling is absolutely normal. I felt these same things. Eventually things pass, what your going through is a temporary season. Go see a psychiatrist If things become unbearable. I'm on medication and it changed my life. Good luck mama!

I’m over it

Sex life is dead. We haven’t had sex in 3 months. I always try to initiate and get rejected (it’s always me). He always says “I’m so tired” “my stomach hurts” “I’m already falling asleep”. I get so hurt and furious because wtheck?! I know work is tiring but at home it’s all me. He has gained over 30+ pounds and I know that’s also a big factor but he doesn’t care about his health to the point it’s affecting our sex life. I’m not needy but a girl needs atleast once a month 😭 I consider that a healthy normal sex libido, I’m not asking for a lot & yes I’ve already had a full convo about it but doesn’t led anywhere

rant

I’m 12 day’s postpartum and my bd is making me crazy. I live with my mom currently (I’m 20 and still a student) and my bf is currently without a place to stay bc he just moved to be closer. My mom and him have never had a relationship even though we’ve been together 2 years almost. He doesn’t like my mom bc of things she’s said and my mom doesn’t like him bc he has never made an effort to get to know any of my family. While I was pregnant he was living and working 4 hours away I had asked him a few times what the plan was once I gave birth and he never told me one. Then I give birth and he expects my mom to let him move in for 2 months. She doesn’t feel comfortable with him spending the night since she doesn’t know him (she’s fine with him being here during the day) so he’s upset that he can’t be with his kid but since my mom told me that he hasn’t even been here. He’s acting like he cares about seeing the baby but hasn’t been over in 2 days. He’s been rude to me multiple times since birth. Talking to a girl I’ve asked him so many times to stop talking to and he won’t. Then the other day he came over and has “play hitting me” he’s 32 and I feel like he should be better than this.
