Dissociation?

Hello, I have noticed that when my baby is being looked after by someone else and not with me, I hardly think about them, like I'm not beside myself or texting the person to see if there okay. I also have noticed if someone is holding him or entertaining him that's not my partner I feel just numb/like as if a switch has gone off. Am I overthinking this? Or is this something? Maybe I'm just absolutely exhausted and shut off when I don't have to be fully responsible. Baby is 4months, 1st time mum, autistic and adhd (what a combo!) Any advice welcome x

I think it’s your autism/adhd. This doesn’t sound alarming at all

@Brittany 🇭🇹🫶🏼 thank you for your reply! Xx

There is nothing wrong with enjoying time to yourself...you are a Mum all the time, having a break from being Mum is fine. The fact you are worrying about this shows you care. If a loved one you trusts is entertaining your little one enjoy it girl! Have a cuppa, have a bath or just sit infront of the TV. You deserve it xx

@Emma Cotterell thank you so much, you're right I'm just overthinking it. Xx
