Really hard time lately

I've been having a really hard time with my mental/ emotional health. I feel lost, so far removed from myself and out of control with my emotions. I just don't know what to do. I don't have family here. My man is almost always at work to support our family while I care for our 9 month old son. I have a history of depression etc so this has just been a magnified experience since giving birth. I'm really trying but I feel so alone.. misunderstood. I feel like I've completely disassociated from sex, which is causing a strain in my relationship. If there are any mamas in the San Diego area who may want to meet up.. or any mamas who are feeling similar.. please comment or message. I'm really struggling 😩

hey!! you are not alone, im fighting with postpartum depression as well!!! please txt me if you wanna talk, look for help you dont have to feel like this 🙏 i accepted meds a month ago and it was life changing!!! 🙏🙏

You are definitely not alone! Especially about the sex! Give yourself grace. Talk more kindly to yourself. Do something small for yourself at least once a day. Paint your nails, make a new coffee recipe, cook yourself something yummy, watch a good happy comedy movie, take a nice bath listen to happy upbeat music. These are all things I did and still do to keep me above the water. Some days I barely float, but I try really really hard to make this new chapter with a new lifestyle that will help me stay positive. Only positive things around me.

@Lau thank you so much! That just gave me hope because I'm waiting for an appointment to talk about meds. I really appreciate the support 😭 I'll message you. Also you're so pretty!

@Victoria thank you so much ❤️ you've given me hope. I know we're in this together but it can feel so isolating. I'm trying not to waste this beautiful time as a new mom with all this negativity but man is it hard when I feel so out of control. You're so pretty too!
