Struggling mentally

Anyone else struggling mentally? I had my second son in November but this last week I’ve really begun to struggle and feel like I’m such a bad mum and shouldn’t have my boys. I often sit at 4am just crying to myself wishing life was different. My husband doesn’t seem to understand and just says he will ‘try to help more’. I just don’t know what to do. I think everyone would be better off without me 😩

Bless you! You are your children’s everything so please don’t think like that. I suggest talking to your HV/GP your mental health is important 🫂

You are not alone I've felt similar and it's my second baby I'll often breakdown in tears and then just get right back to mothering it is hard but I know the feeling won't last forever. I remember feeling similar in the early days with my first. Postpartum is not easy. Feel free to message me if you like. Sounds like it could be a bit of postnatal depression so definitely reach out to your health visitor or GP as there is support available.

Yes. I have PND and all I can say is well done for speaking on it, talk to people, friends, family and seek help from HV and GP. I seeked help fast and I definitely feel like I’m getting better day by day. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You’re not a bad mum, and your family wouldn’t be better off without you. I’m sure they all love you so much. Intrusive thoughts are the worst! Try to remind yourself that they are silly and not real. Always here if you want to chat. You’ll get better soon x
