Numb feelings

I’m sure it’s a sign of depression but I just don’t have the same emotions anymore. Almost as if I’m just numb from giving birth, post partum, family changes, and moving. There has been a lot of changes since giving birth and it’s been a long time since I actually have been truly happy or content with myself. the worst part is that it feels like it’s conflicting with me being a mom. I love my baby so much but I’m sure she sees that I’m not truly happy. Family and friends are so happy seeing my baby hit her first milestones but it does not phase me. Then I feel like a terrible person bc I’m not as excited as I should be like everyone else. Pretending to be happy in front or family is exhausting. Tbh I have no idea how to solve this problem with myself

Show your support

Go and talk to your dr please. I had postnatal depression, it can happen at anytime not just after birth, it doesn't mean your a bad mum, it doesn't mean your a bad person. Everything is just getting on top of you with all the change, which is normal and understandable. Make some you time, something you once enjoyed doing, take a long bath, read a book, go for a walk on your own even of its just down the street ( if you have someone that can watch baby) go and have your hair done, some YOU time. Babies pick up on everything so you are right she will know. If you need to talk you can always inbox / message me, sometimes talking to a stranger can help! But deffinately go talk to your doctor. You are enough and you are not alone. X

There’s mommy programs out there where they let you bring your baby and you can get therapy too. I did that for a few weeks. It helps. They have a nursery where the baby stays while you get group therapy. That way you will spend time with baby and get better! You can try a website called Postpartum support international and they will help you find help confidentially. Where ever you are. They helped me a lot through two pregnancies. They helped me find a hospital that takes my insurance and has Obgyn doctors that were specialized with complicated conditions. They will help you! Trust me. They got me into the motherhood program that I told you about at the beginning. Good luck!

I think these two moms nailed it! I have postpartum depression and it didn’t start until about 6 months after I had my daughter. It’s perfectly okay to not feel okay I’m glad you have taken the biggest step which is seeing the change in yourself. Please go talk to your doctor the best medicine I have found is Prozac or Celexa it really helps just take the edge off and helped bring me back to reality❤️ much love and support🫶

You can always message me! I will be there for you! ❤️ I know how depression goes and I could support you!
