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!
