Struggling first time mum
Show your support
Talk to you’re doctor, with my youngest being so small I was referred and now have CBT therapy. I was on the waiting list a week as they prioritise mums with under 2. Those first weeks are hard. Coming to terms with the new life, trying to find a routine but every day is different. It’s so hard. You have got this! Xx
Oh hugs to you. 6 weeks PP was so rough for me, I know it’s so hard. I went through the same thing. It’s hormones and a huge adjustment! I just hit 3 months and have started getting out of this. It does get better. If you feel it becomes unmanageable talk to your doc/gp/provider. you’re not alone and these waves of sadness will get more gentle.
I struggle. I'm 8 weeks pp. I take one day at a time as I find I have one bad day then a good day. I found if I looked at the bigger picture too much or over analysed it would send me into a spiral. You have to remember your hormones are still settling. X
Sending a hug to you my love! I’m a therapist myself - you could always look for a therapist who practices online if you’d prefer. That way you could do it from home with baby, or while your partner has him for 50mins xx
I am still in the early weeks of being pregnant but these are all feelings that I fear I will face when I get to that point. Anxiety and depression is so real and something I suffer from. Although I am not actually mom yet I can completely understand where you are coming from and how hard it is to struggle with mental health. I hope you will be able to get past this over time. I understand the first few weeks are very emotional with the hormones but they say it does get better. Please don’t lose hope!
