Anti social?
Ever since I’ve had my baby and actually during pregnancy i have just enjoyed being me and my kids in our wee bubble and my partner.
I haven’t felt this excited about anything really other than just spending my days with my kids and my new baby.
I don’t really feel interested in going to parties or days with friends or family really and I wondered if anyone feels the same?
I have a party this weekend and will be the first since having baby girl and it’s a really close family friend and I just don’t feel like it at all, doesn’t excite me I’d rather have a fun filled day for my kids.
Why can’t I get in the mood for anything? And why do I isolate myself from everyone apart from partner kids and closer family.
I used to be very outgoing and the “fun” one

I’m the exact same. People telling me they can watch my baby for a bit if I want to go out or have a date with my partner alone but honestly I don’t want to! I love being with my son, he makes me happy and me and my partner are happy spending the nights we have whilst he’s asleep just cuddling watching movies and chilling together. Absolutely nothing wrong with you! x

I wouldn’t put pressure on yourself at all, I think it’s so normal to still be very much in a baby bubble! Most trips out end up being a stress tbh and I’m glad to get home but I know for me personally I need to challenge my anxiety by doing more social things (especially without my little boy as I haven’t left without him for more than ten minutes yet). I would say that I’m in the ‘maybe’ category for postpartum depression and part of it is not feeling excited about things I used to enjoy - not saying that’s you at all but I certainly can isolate myself too much and then feel really low. I’d say take it in little doses and see how you feel - if it fills your cup then great! If not, soak up the time with your family 💗
