To want to leave my husband and baby

1 reply

I feel like I can't cope anymore...have a really nice husband and to everyone else the perfect baby. But I'm just so unhappy. I hate being a mum and feel like I can't go on, I miss my old life. I think I should just leave because I'm a shit mum and wife 😢

Hello @Sadmum181 we're really sorry that you're finding things such a struggle. You really don't sound anything remotely like a shit mum, just someone who is isolated and could do with some more real-life support. Please consider contacting your GP or health visitor - you won't be the first woman who has found herself in this situation and there are people to help you.

We know you don't think that this is the issue but it might be useful to take a look at our information about postnatal depression, here. We also wanted to share Mind’s information with you – it has practical tips on what you can do when you feel like this and where to get urgent help. Maybe take a look and see if there’s anything which might be helpful right now.
Please do think about exploring some of the options in the links above. Samaritans are there for you too, 24/7, by emailing [email protected] or calling 116 123. You can also see the resources in our Mental Health webguide

Very best wishes from MNHQ.
