I just need to rant

I’ve recently been diagnosed with PPD and PPA and I just feel like I can’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m waiting on starting therapy which I know will be good for me, but I just can’t see a way things will get better. I am so alone, we just don’t know anyone locally. I’ve tried reaching out to people on here, but things often just kind of go cold. And I always end up pushing away friends I actually have in person. I’m spending nearly every day by myself with my little one, and easily go an entire day without seeing another adult. I just don’t understand how I can be so far from the mum I saw myself being, and how my life can feel so sad. I desperately want to be the best mum I can for my baby, so she has the best chance at life. But I don’t even know how to get there. Does it actually get any better than this?

Heyyyy it does I was diagnosed at 8.5 months and took me a bit with therapy but even without medication I was able to pull through. This is not your fault this is a combo of your social circumstances and your hormones messing with you. Maybe just go to little activities like public libraries tend to have baby things some mornings that way you both get out and see some people. Eventually they will go to school and you can become more involved there or go back to work some hours it changes a lot as they grow and you’re not stuck home all day. It will get better I promise. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
