Feeling confused and lost

Any one else feels confused and lost like you don’t know who you are anymore? I’m 4 months pp and I feel like I can’t recognize myself. My body doesn’t look the same, my clothes I don’t like, I don’t know what I want anymore outside of being a mom, and I feel weird looking at pictures and videos of me. It’s causing me to feel sad and a bit anxious as well. I’m not sure what to do.

Your not alone. I think it’s normal. I’m not even a month PP and feel the same way. My whole identity has changed. But it’s ok. Give yourself grace and remember you just made a human being ! It’s ok to just focus on being a mom & also ok to not be ok sometimes. if your really struggling speak to someone. Reach out to your doctors/ medical professionals for support or those closest to you.

Me as well. I’m struggling mentally really bad but I’m trying to keep myself out of the hole by doing things I enjoy. Painting, music, the little arts and crafts from Walmart, doing water/ paint activities with my boy make me smile as well and remember it dosent have to be this bad. You got this ❤️ feel free to reach out ! ❤️

This is so normal, there was an episode on the show Bones about this. They recommend going clothes shopping, your body just went through some major changes, clothes are going to fit differently. And for finding yourself, make some time for something for yourself. As you get more sleep. It'll get better!

That's what I felt like after baby. It took me awhile to reframe my life in a positive way. Hang in there. You will figure things out.
