Losing myself

I feel like that a lot as well, it's hard to feel like yourself, for me at least, when none of my clothes fit and my makeup doesn't sit the way it did pre pregnancy and all people want to talk about is my pregnancy (which I do enjoy talking about, but it often feels like it's all people care about now when they see me)
I definitely feel the same way… I’m a first time mom and just waiting for my rainbow at this point. I feel like I don’t even matter anymore like only the baby at this point. I want to get up in the morning and look like something, but I don’t be having the energy nor the motivation to do it. I just need 5% of the old me back so I can somewhat feel like myself and relax
Same. I can't tell you how many times I've cried to my husband saying I don't feel like myself. I've hated pregnancy and I can't wait to have my own brain and emotions back. I've never felt so incompetent at work and so much of a miserable bitch to my husband. I'm lucky she's stayed with me.
@Gina I feel the exact same! At work I can't think properly and I feel like I don't take information in as well, when I do I forget it all
I was just like this during my pregnancy. It felt so isolating, but trust me. It gets better. I know it sounds super cliche but trust it’s true. I felt like no one would understand. If you ever need to talk don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m still working on getting that sense of self 100% back but it does get better cuz it did for me.
