Struggling and feeling like a shit mum😢

I’m struggling with health problems and mental health problems, I’ve got so much going on with myself I just feel like crap 24/7 and when my baby cries it just makes me cry/scream and have an instant breakdown as I just don’t feel well enough to look after him. I love my baby to bits I can’t stand feeling like an awful mum I’m just so exhausted everyday and struggling to find out what my health problems are as GP never want to refer me to hospital. Crying for help😭

You’re doing great mama. You’re not alone in feeling that way. Take each day at a time, go for walks to help clear your mind. If gp isn’t helping,Try and take care of your body with what you eat / drink, maybe supplements. Being a mum is so exhausting most of the time. You’ve got this! Big hugs x

@Naz thank you so much xx

Speak to your gp and tell her you want a mental health care plan Mums matter is the best 👌

I was right there for many months after having my youngest. The only thing that shook me out of it was meds. I recommend you see someone — even virtually if that’s easier. Meds can really help too the scale and make things feel possible again. Just remember, your kiddo chose you for his momma and you are exactly right for him 💜

@Kelly thank you did u suffer with health anxiety? It’s destroying me as a person I constantly have dark thoughts every symptom I get I feel it’s something sinister I’m in a really bad way😢x

If you need to talk I am here momma

I know the feeling 😕 you're not a crap mum. You clearly care. I'm really struggling with depression and anxiety and cptsd and the grief of losing my sister but all we can do is our best. Be kind to ourselves and go gently on ourselves. As long as our kids are safe, fed, and got a loving home they will be ok. I cry a lot but I explain to my daughter I'm sad and it's ok to be sad and that I'll feel better again. Luckily she's doing well and healthy and happy so I'm grateful for that but my mind is messed up and I'm run down and fed up x You take care 🙂 ❤️

@Hannah I’m so sorry to hear this sending so much love to you🩷if you want me to pm u we can always talk sending lots of hugs xxxx
