Hi ladies,
I pretty much knew I was going to be dealing with PPD. I suffer from anxiety and knew it was going to happen. I am just really struggling. I feel like I can't bond with my son (we are one week out). I feel resentment and I'm just feeling really awful about everything. I don't even know really how to explain it. I'm lonely and sad all the time. I'm not really sure which way to go here. Just needed to get it out.
Re: New to the board- really struggling
DD was about 4 months before we had our first bonding moment and it's been a slow curve since.
If you are prescribed meds I strongly suggest getting a medicine divider or pill case and counting them out. With a little one and sleepless nights it's tough to remember whether or not you took your daily dose.
Try to get out of the house, even if it's just to walk to the mailbox.
Like PP said, you're not alone and you will feel better. Good luck, mama.
