Went back to work

I went back to work and I am struggling. I feel like a terrible mom. The time after work with her just doesn’t seem like enough. I know it sounds dramatic but it feels like I didn’t have PPD until I started working. My body craves for my baby. It feels like I am physically in pain without her. I’ve tried explaining this to my husband but I don’t feel he really understands. I feel like I am failing at being there for my baby and failing at work being a high performer. How do you find the balance?

is it a job where you can work from home?

Ugh, I’m supposed to go back soon and feel like this is going to happen to me. I’m already so high anxiety.. hope you (and I) can find balance. 😔

@Benet unfortunately no. I have tried looking for WFH jobs but have only found call center type of jobs

I felt like this when I went back to work with my first. I wish I had a better answer other than it did get easier with time. Hang in there!!

I felt like this when I went back to work with my first as well. It may not seem like it but it does get easier with time. Don't worry, you're doing a good job!
