I want to Feel like myself

I want to feel like myself. But if I'm being honest. I didn't even know who I really was before I had my baby girl. How do you find yourself? As your going thru postpartum and dealing with spending all the free time pumping or grabbing something to eat or a shower etc?

How many weeks/ months postpartum?

Avatar

A postpartum identity crisis is very common especially for first time mums. It gets better with time particularly after year one.

I found that the toughest part of postpartum particularly if you gained so much weight and looked so different from the person you were 9 months ago.

It does get better. Trust the process 🙏

I hate being a mum.

I never wanted kids before but here I am now with an almost 6 month old and I’m so depressed every single day. I feel down and hate my life. Everyone keeps saying it gets better but it’s actually getting worse for me. Don’t know what to do. I feel trapped in this life that I hate. Partner goes to work everyday so it’s just me and my baby. I’m also bored out of my mind and just feel so depressed.

Are you able to completely wipe your bum after a 💩 with just one single sheet of toilet paper?

Someone was bragging to me recently about this, and I just couldn’t understand how that could be, but he said my diet probably isn’t great if I need additional sheets.

Cheating when pregnant

I just discovered he slept with someone else while I was pregnant. Our baby is now 18m. Not sure how to deal with this?

He broke up with me recently anyway.

Yet I still love him 😫

I find it funny

Ppl on here say they are looking for friends but barely answer messages ( not just my story because I see the post on here) be specific on what type of friends you want , maybe you won't have to keep posting " looking for my bestie" if you knew what type of bestie you want
