Anxiety

very understandable! what’s got you freaking out? ik for me.. i was worried i “couldn’t handle” the baby all by myself. what’s your mental looking like at the moment? it’s ok to feel this way for sure!

It’s honestly that too. I’m already running on low sleep and when he’s gone I know it will just get worse lol

honey.. i feel you. i truly do. what helped me a bit was somewhat.. prepping? ig you can say. so id make sure i had some clean bottles at least enough to hold us over until nap times came along lol. then when he fell asleep, if i had the energy? i’d re-prep. if not? just wash the bottles &’ get a little bit of sleep time for myself. (sleep when the baby sleeps is completely bs BUTTTT.. if you actually can get some shut eye when they sleep? DO IT!) leave the house a fucking mess even if you gotta skip a shower. GET YOUR SLEEP. i don’t care about other people saying “im able to shower so can you” etc etc. do what works for you, your baby, &’ your family. forget all the hearsay.

while i’m saying if you gotta skip a shower do it, also make sure you’re doing your personal upkeep. wash your face, brush your teeth. even if hubby comes home LATER &’ you haven’t showered all day.. he’s daddy. he’s capable &’ if not just yet? he can learn. never EVER constantly put yourself last. i did &’ wound up with PDD &’ it was bad. you’re a mommy, a human, &’ most certainly WORTH being here. so take care of yourself. pour back into yourself. even if it’s a walk around the corner alone. hell, we can exchange numbers &’ if your baby is hollering bloody all darn day &’ you just need someone on the line to “be there”? i’ll be there. but don’t you dare drown by yourself. i have a hand for you if you ever need me. near or far, okay? ♥️

😭😭 I have been drowning actually my boyfriend is great but when you start to feel like this it can feel too late

I was 3 weeks postpartum when my husband went back to work too. I was really nervous about it but it turned out to be okay. I learned and adapted quickly.

I mean I know I’ll survive but still nervous lol
