August 2015 Moms

Crying everyday.

My son is now 8 weeks old. And from the day he was born I have cried everyday. The smallest thing will set me off. I feel drained and tiered so I'm putting it down to sleepless nights. I have no friends to talk to and my mum and sister I do not want to worry. When I cry in front of DH he doesn't seem to understand and he always says I'm crying for nothing and to stop or "calm down". I feel it's a mix of emotions. I fell out with my dad in march and we didn't speak until August 9th when my son was born since then I have tried and he said he wanted nothing to do with me. Plus DH family always telling me how I'm doing things wrong with LO therefore I feel like I'm a shit mum as DH doesn't tell them off. I feel so pressurised. I just wanted to tell someone without feeling judged on my emotions. I feel so lonely. I havent left the house for two weeks except to put the bins out.I'm looking forward to Monday when LO has his jabs that means I can get out the house more and meet other mums. Thanks for reading. I just needed to vent.

  • Have you talked to your doctor about how you're feeling?

  • I agree with PP. our hormones are nuts and we are stressed with little sleep, but PPD can sneak in without us realizing it. It is worth it to talk to your doctor. T&P coming your way!

  • I haven't spoken with my doctor I didn't go to my 6 week check. I will give them a ring tomorrow. Thank you for your suggestion :)
  • No judgement love. Vent as needed. Make sure you contact your doctor. We are always up on here. Talk to us. We understand! Be encouraged
  • Definitely check in with your dr. If you are close at all with your mom and sister the you should reach out to them. That is what family is for. They wouldn't want you to suffer alone.

  • @talisha1992 I feel for you as that's what I was like with my first baby. It did eventually get better but I think you need to firstly, talk to your doc immediately, and secondly, get out and meet some other mums. Speak to your local child health nurse or la leche league (or local equivalent) or use the meetup app to find mothers groups or mums and bubs walking groups/yoga classes. There will be a lot out there if you live in a city.

    I guarantee you that getting out and talking to people who understand, getting some sunshine and some exercise, will help you immensely. It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better! Please make the effort to do these things because you can't go on feeling like this without having support. You are welcome to PM me if you would like to talk more with someone who's been there and came out the other side (and had another child!!)
  • @kettlekitten I have sent you a pm thank you
