Mental health

Since baby has been born I've had this adrenaline spike and it's just continued. Idk how to explain it other than I'm just running at 150% all the time? I walk really fast, my minds going really fast, I'm super quick with my hands. I can change a nappy in less than 10 seconds.

I've been like this since baby has been born. I thought it'd go away but it's continued.

I'm really efficient at everything but it's starting to take it's toll and I'm really scared that I'm going to "crash". I become like a robot and forget my feelings it's like I'm on autopilot all the time.

Does this sound like I'm unstable? Idk what's wrong with me tbh, and idk how to resolve this.

Maybe speak to a doctor about it see what they advise

Are you in fight or flight mode? Like on edge and this is how you release the nervous energy?

I’m no medical professional but It sounds like postnatal anxiety which is what I have. I spoke to the doctor and I’m going to counselling

Postpartum rage or depression?

I am currently 6 months postpartum, my daughter is my absolute world she makes me so happy but since I’ve had her I’ve felt numb inside unless it’s towards her then I pour all my love to her.
I think I have postpartum depression it’s only occurred to me the last few days as I am ‘high functioning’ but the mask feels like it’s beginning to slip and I have so much rage and go 0-10000 extremely quickly especially with my fiancé. I can tell I’m destroying our relationship making him miserable and pushed out. I have these episodes of rage and then consumed with guilt after because he really is the kindest man and the most amazing dad he doesn’t deserve this. How can I help myself? I just want to be myself again 😭

5am settling

Curious if anyone else’s LO is all good in their next to me all night, doing longer stretches until 5am, when they wake up and won’t settle unless they come into the bed with us?

Baby sleeping through the night

Hello… I think this question has been asked a lot but is anyone else’s baby all of a sudden started sleeping through the night.
She’s 10 weeks old, started 11 and for the past 3 days she has slept from 9:30 until 5:30.
It freaks me out as everywhere it says it’s not “common” or “normal”

Tired mama and fussy baby

New mom, 2 week old daughter. Lately all she wants to do is nurse. She will suck for 2 hours. Not even to get milk. To comfort herself.
Normally she does fine at night but not lately. I am just exhausted. Worn out and need help. My husband is half ass there to help. He says he wakes when she cries... he doesn't. He snores through it.

I know I am her source of food, I love her to pieces. I just need advice.

Advice!!!

My baby is 3 days old,
She’s been pretty good, but tonight is the first night home and it’s really rough. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s different from her being in the hospital for a few days, or something else, but she won’t stop crying. I have noticed though after Breastfeeding her belly makes some noises, she ends up passing a lot to gas, poops, and ends up with hiccups, every single time today. So I’m not sure how to fix that problem, and I’m not sure if that could maybe be her reason of just crying.
