Hi all my DD is 6 months old. I'm taking 10mg of citalopram and starting counselling after the new year.
I just wondered how long these shitty feelings will last? I'm having a really bad day today, really exhausted and down. DP is looking after baby now while I have a lie down.
I'm tired of it. I can't function. I feel like a scruff as I don't shower everyday now and look like a mess. I feel like a shit mum as I'm too tired to play with her when I feel like this.
I just feel so negative much of the time and can't pull myself out of this pitiful hole. I don't find it easy at all looking after my baby as she cries a lot if not being held. She's in a sling a lot consequently but this has done my back in.
My mood went downhill today when I was dressing her. It took me ages as she was wriggling about and rolling over, getting a bit grumpy and I found it really difficult. I'm not particularly enjoying being a mum and that makes me feel very guilty. Sorry this is a bit garbled, just needed to get thoughts out.
