Struggling

Post Reply New Topic

I'm finding living difficult at the moment. It could just be where it's winter, I've always found it a gloomy and depressing season. Every day is becoming hard work. I'm tired. Anxious. Stressed. I feel like I'm sinking and my body aches. The last couple of years have been hell, only now are things getting back together. I have bags under my eyes, I'm so tired. I'm really irritable and my mood is up and down. And I've got a baby which I'm struggling with. He wasn't planned and I didn't want to be pregnant but circumstances happened.

I feel like I want to give up. Everything's so hard and I feel like I'm in a locked room that is getting smaller and smaller.

Please, Isadora, reach out to someone in the real world. Phone a helpline or reach out to someone you trust. Posting on a forum of strangers on the internet is not a safe way to get help when you need it.

I agree, reach out to someone in the real world who can help you. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't post here too. There are lots if people here who can relate to things you're going through.

I'm glad you shared; I'm praying for you to have peace and strength for you and your baby

Agreed with the others

You need support
All new moms (moms in general but esp when the child is a baby) do. And u have ASD. So whatever sleep everything u need u have to prioritize. Once in a while the baby can be looked after. Maybe even more regularly. While u rest

Nutritionally broths n soups wd help a lot esp fr winter. Be healthy n additionally treat urself.
Wait- why am I bossing? U probably already get enough of that as a mother. I hope you get through this rough patch with the support of everybody around you

I called my therapist, she's coming to talk to me and help me. I have no friends or family to turn to. My therapist is my only friend. I'm calmer now. Still shaking but calmer.

Message me anytime if needed
