Feeling down

Anyone else feeling a bit rubbish and down? I definitely have post partum anxiety, I feel OK when I'm with people but when I have days just me and baby, I want to just stay in and worry that's not productive. I feel quite claustrophobic, maybe because it feels like so much to do and prep to go out and I feel so self conscious and anxious. I only showered properly after 8 weeks because my wound opened up and I had to keep it dry. Just feel a bit claustrophobic and stuck sometimes which makes me feel down. Overall I am OK though, anyone else feel like this?

If baby is fed happy clean and well it’s never an unproductive day.♥️

I can completely relate. I’m so much better when I have people over at the house or I go out and spend time with others. For what ever reason the baby seems to behave better which made me feel like I was messing it up when I was on my own. But actually I’ve come to realise it’s because when it’s just me and the baby one to one I make such a big deal of everything like going out. When I’m with others I’m distracted and I get on with my jobs and taking care of the baby and it doesn’t feel like a chore. It just shows that it really does take a village to raise a baby, we shouldn’t be on our own all day. So no wonder you feel claustrophobic. Just go easy on yourself 🩷

I’ve definitely had days like this, I am 6 weeks post c section and it’s taken me all this time to start feeling like myself again. I feel better when I’m with people for sure it can be lonely in the house all day with your baby but you won’t always feel like this I promise, hang in there you are doing an amazing job x
