I’m utterly in love with my baby . ( she is 3 months )But in every other way I feel sad.

My life is good on paper ( okay money is a little tight ) but why do I feel so sad / withdrawn and depressed?

I just wish I could run away with my baby and not have to deal with anyone or anything -
Including my husband . I do love him but we seem to keep arguing .

What is wrong with me ?

My partner and I keep arguing as I don’t want sex / intimacy. I find he is constantly stressed - he thinks I’m always stressed .

I am dreading going back to work .

I’ve started drinking a little( wine or gin ) and I know this is a red flag that I’m unhappy . My partner said he can’t stand me when I have had a drink but I do it as I’m desperate to relax but this tends to just lead to me feeling more tired and annoying partner . I think if im honest - drinking - is making nothing better .

-I feel isolated from friends and family who live far away yet I don’t want to be around anyone .

  • we have recently moved to a new house and I don’t love the area .
-I’m not missing work at all but my world is now small maybe that’s not good for me . -I don’t want sex anymore. Which is causing issues .

I have lost 3 stone of the 4 stone I put on . I’m always out with baby to make sure I am not getting cabin fever . But still I’m struggling with feeling trapped .

I’m paranoid about what people , partners family think of me. I’m so anxious.

I’m scared my husband will give up on me if I don’t pull it together but I don’t know what is going on with me ???

Having a young baby is very isolating but it sounds very much like you could have post natal depression. Please speak with your health visitor or G.P. There is no shame if you do Flowers
