I don’t think I’m coping

I don’t want to admit it, but I’m not coping and I feel like I’m a bit crazy. I have a 6 month old daughter, who is wonderful and her personality is really coming through now. She constantly needs entertainment and it exhausts me. She doesn’t like it if I’m not near, will cry if I leave the room etc but when she’s with her daddy, he can leave her and she will be content - so he can get chores done, where I will struggle and feel awful and stressed while my daughter cries. I also had a miscarriage two weeks ago, where I was almost 12 weeks pregnant. This is starting to hit me now. I snap easily, I’ve been unbearable to my husband. I feel like I could cry but I can’t seem to. I’m not a fan of myself. I feel like a failure. I lost a lot of weight two years ago - 8 half stone and I’ve gained 3 stone of that back and I am struggling to shift it. It makes me miserable. I don’t feel nice. Don’t look nice. I’m maid of honour for a wedding in August and I just don’t want to be seen. I just don’t know what to do.

Show your support

Maybe go and see your doctor and tell them how you’re feeling. Since having my LB my anxiety flared up, I had to give in and go and get help. I was worried they would call social services on me. I feel better now I can enjoy my LB more easily now x

Sending a hug 🫂 you’re going through a LOT. I’m just under 6m pp too and can be pretty unbearable to those around me too, as far as I can tell speaking to other mum friends, it’s kinda par for the course… things will change in sure. Going through a miscarriage at this point.. I can’t imagine how the hormones will be spinning you around.. honestly my heart goes out to you. Try to be as patient as possible with yourself and your LO, just to get through this moment. I agree with the above, tell your GP that you’re feeling down, they will help you get back on your feet again. All of this will pass.

I would definitely speak to a doctor about how you are feeling and they should be able to get you the help that you need. Please don’t feel like you are a failure, you are far from it💕

Thank you all, for your kind comments. It’s just so overwhelming at times. I went to my gp yesterday and they are referring me to talking therapy, which in hope goes ahead. I had this arranged before the second pregnancy and it got cancelled. X

I felt the same at 6 months postpartum and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism after my blood tests It was the main reason I was shattered May be try to get your full body blood tests done I am feeling much better after medications
