Sleep deprived & suffering from PND

I'm unsure who to talk too and just need to let it out in a safe space. I'm sleep deprived mum of two, I'm struggling with my mental health and also trying to do the best for my kids and family. I was asking for help/ researching about car seat for my little one and I made a slip up, because I'm tried and have so much going on. As a result, they kicked me out of the fb group, and blocked me on messenger. I shouldn't be upset by it or let it worry me, but it does and has....because of my PND. So I'm sitting here feeling shut out. What they don't know is, I'm sleep deprived, I suffer from PND, I've had so many life changes to contend with and I feel I need to know all the right information on my own all the time 😭. So, this added to my list of being a failure 😂

Hey, I’m so sorry you’re feeling like this. That seems very extreme and unfair to kick you out of a group and messenger just for asking a simple question or asking for some advice - why don’t you pop it on here and hopefully someone can help? (I have no idea about car seats really and still use our newborn one ATM). It’s important you have a break and some time to re-coup so please do reach out to those close to you to help if you can. Also consider contacting your GP. There’s no point me saying “try not to worry” because you will especially because you have so much going on but hopefully Peanut is a safe space for mums who are all experiencing similar/have experienced similar and a good place for you to vent and get those feelings out. You are not a failure. You are raising two children and clearly care about them ALOT so much so that you are having to sacrifice a lot yourself just to keep your family unit happy and together. There is no shame in saying you are struggling (Cont)

Please message me if you want a rant or even a virtual friend ☺️. X

Hi I’m always happy to chat xx

Hi, if you don’t mind me asking, what group name was this? I’m part of a car seat safety group and will happily raise with them/ask the question on your behalf? If it’s the same group I’m in, it isn’t the first time they’ve come under fire for similar behaviour x

@Amy thank you, I've sent you a PM x

@Shanaz - Sleep Coach thank you, my little sleeps better, than my first...but bedtime is still a nightmare with my 1st. It takes over an 1hr...and I've moved house so I'm trying to balance 2 kids, settling into the house and life admin. It's impossible!

@Amy Thank you, I don't remember the group, but it was a rear facing group, large volumes of people in it (from memory). It was run by a couple of businesses - Safe Journey Car Seat - is the business that probably blocked me. They had a promo on a premium car seat. They were nice , then turned rude very quickly. Oh really? I honestly felt like 💩 and isolated. I needed help with car seat and it was a great group, lots of advice etc. I feel silly for making someone virual feel like that, but I felt venerable 😢

@Amy Thank you, I have got it sorted. I bought a car seat and manged to fit my little one in it, so I have no further questions 🙂 x
