PPD coping skills
Hey guys so I have a two year old and a two month old. I have been feeling incredibly burnt out just doing the same things every day… changing diapers, making snacks, cleaning, etc. I don’t really have anyone to help or talk to. I lost all of my friends after having kids and my family lives quite far away. Since I stay home with my kids I don’t have any money to go do anything. My boyfriend and I live together but he works everyday so he doesn’t want to interact much when he gets home and honestly I’ve stopped pushing to spend time together. I’ve been starting to feel depressed and struggling to get out of bed in the morning. I’m worried about my mental health as I’ve had some issues with depression before. How are you all coping with feeling like this? What has helped?
I’m experiencing PPD depression as well my baby is almost 8 months. Getting outside helped sometimes, going on a walk with my baby to get some sun and fresh air and get my body moving. It is very tough dealing with this though and I’m looking for other ways to handle this as well. Feel free to reach out if you ever need a friend!
