Right so since I became a mum I realised how much anger I’ve been suppressing my entire life without being aware. I never thought this would happen to me but I started having some changes in my behaviour etc after baby came nearly two years ago. I finally seek when he was 6 months old but now that I’m pregnant again and my hormones are all over the place without mentioning personal problems that I’ve been through that are stressing me, I’ve been having lots of relapses.
I’m still in therapy very frequently I’ve been working hard in getting better and being a better mum for my kids. It sucks so much sometimes I feel like a failure and that they would be better without me. I don’t get good comments from family they’re actually the first ones in the list to judge me.
Has anyone been through something similar ? I see my mums friend and yet I know I don’t know everything that’s going on with their life but sometimes I feel like I’m alone and I get embarrassed.
