Motherhood can be so isolating and overwhelming

Nobody really speaks about it being so isolating , everyone's experiences differ. But for me , it's a lot. The constant noise and chatter . My daughter just needing me for everything . Society thinking that a mom shouldn't complain because we chose this. The isolation , the identity shift . Sometimes , I feel like I'm in a tunnel with no light in sight

I feel you. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way though. I Pray things start feeling better for you soon 🙏🏼

I know how you feel. But it does get better. My youngest is very clingy. And very loud, lol. But they are little for such a short amount of time. It's seems like it's never-ending, but one day she won't need you as much and you might even miss these days as crazy as it sound, lol. But having time for yourself and time with your spouse is key. If you have family that can help, don't be afraid to ask. Plan a date night, or have hubby or a sitter watch your little one so you can get away from the house for a little while and decompress and do something you enjoy. It also helps when they have other kids to play with. So maybe a mommy and me play group in your area, dance,gymnastics, or even going to the park. Just some way for her to burn off some energy with other kids, and you get a little time to breathe.

I feel all of these emotions. 💔❤️

Yup

I feel this way too. I see you’re close to me- feel free to message me!

I used to feel this way the 1st few months when my daughter was born. I was working always and then i had to stop working, stay at home (which i am not used to at all) i love travelling and alot of times i couldnt do things i wanted to, cannot socialize with people because I have to watch my baby and take care of her all those feelings I felt so isolated and not part of any group at all. Everyone would say you wanted to become a mom so this is what it takes and i would just silent. Now my baby is close to a year old and I started figuring out things my way. I will go to a mall if I want to, i will go hang out with friends if I feel like it and let my husband take care of the baby. You do you and also I believe if i am happy my baby will be happy. Take care of your mental health and then you give that positive vibes and energy to your baby. Now I feel my baby girl is my best friend. What I am trying to say is it will become easier and you will find your time and things that brings joy.
