Anyone feel like they're lost?
Ever since having my 2nd in August last year I don't know who I am anymore. I'm struggling to be more than just mum and it's so hard sometimes. I felt a bit like this after my first was born but as she got older it was easier to come back to some sort of normal, the new normal almost. Now I don't know who I am other than a mum and I don't even think I'm very good at that sometimes.
I just wondered if anyone else felt the same or if they did and they got some of their mojo back eventually.

@Morgan so hard. And the mum guilt is unreal sometimes x
I totally feel this! I feel ljke my whole identity right now is ‘mum’, it’s so sad as it’s impacting my relationship with my husband, but by thr end of the day, I’m so touched out and tired, I don’t have it in me to be a wife too. Plus I cosleep with baby so I don’t even get a break at night. I think with my first it took roughly 6-7 months to feel a bit ljke myself, but that’s when we moved her to her room so I could just be for 5 minutes without thinking about her.
