Am I cut out for this?

Im glad you out this post because I have been feeling the same. The think I hate the most when they say, “ahh you will miss it” “theses times are amazing” etc but yeah I hear ya. It is a lot. Especially on your mental health. The only way I would suggest is, try take a little break (if you can) just to reset yourself. Maybe go for a walk to clear your head, exercise, do yoga or read a book just anything that will ease your brain/mental health. Hope this helps. 😊💕
It’s just so hard and although i have people around me you just still feel alone in it. Thank you for replying ❤️
Of course, that’s the down side of it. They’re only there for the baby, not for you but you should matter too also. Just keep strong, you’re doing your best you can. 😊
I’ve been feeling the same! Honestly I have not coped this week I’m ashamed to say it but I drove my lo to my mothers and dropped her off and drove away because I thought I was having a break down. The crying is sooooo bad. I’ve been wondering if I’m cut out for this because I feel so overstimulated overwhelmed and exhausted please feel free to message me any time like you all of my friends seem to manage really well
I’m with you here! I’ve had these feelings too. 🥺
Yes, I feel the same! I’m a single parent as well so nobody to pass him over to when I’m overstimulated from the constant touching/whining etc. It is soooo hard. I’m hoping it will pass. I’m finding it very stressful to have no time to do anything and when he goes to bed I just flop on the sofa and look around at the chaos!
Yes I I've been thinking this for weeks now. My LO won't nap & won't go down at bedtime & wakes every 2 hours. I was late today because the morning was full of meltdowns. I feel constantly overstimulated, overwhelmed and touched out. You are not alone in this. Hopefully it doesn't last long 🤞 if you want to message and rant about it or anything, please feel free. These days are so tough 😭
