Normal or no?

inluv4life2 · June 2014

I just don't feel like myself. I'm so tired, snapping at everyone, and I feel disgusting with the bladder issues, not to mention the gut. My first week back to work was great but now sh is getting real and I feel pretty overwhelmed. Is this just normal adjustment to work life stress or something more? I feel like I don't even look the same.

I Do enjoy LO. He's my favorite thing.

I just want to be myself again. Ugh.

Sounds pretty normal to me. But keep an eye on it. Balance is hard as hell, and you're still figuring it all out, ya know?

Thanks ladies. I think today's been extra trying. I guess we are allowed to feel overwhelmed sometimes.

Its 'normal' to have an adjustment period after having a baby and going back to work. It takes a while to settle into a rhythm and establish a work-life balance. I have been struggling with feeling overwhelmed and started seeing a therapist. I wanted to get a gauge on my feelings because I had pretty bad PPD with DS1.
Do you have someone you can talk to? I'm not an expert but feel free to PM me.

I think it's normal. Going back to work can be completely overwhelming.

So far...sounds normal. I am going through this a little too (minus the bladder issues) so I understand the feeling. I had to present at a work meeting last week and I felt it went awful; just don't feel like myself yet, esp when it comes to work!!

Seems normal to me. I know my mood fluctuates and going back to work was super hard. Just keep an eye in it!
