What would you say is my problem here? When my baby laughs I get sad because I don’t belive he’s laughing at me because I feel like he’s sad with me. I feel like he deserves so much more and I feel sad that he laughs at me because I don’t belive he should be? I know factually my baby rn loves me (he’s 5 months) but in my head I think he must be ashamed that I’m his mother? I’m unsure if this is PPD as I’m not depressed everyday and I love being a mom! I also don’t have a bonding issue with him, I love him with my whole heart and I’d do anything for him so I’m unsure what the actual cause of my problem is?
This sounds more like post partum anxiety. Your OB can give you more relevant local resources, but there are national hotlines if you live in the US! National Maternal Mental Health Hotline 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262)
