Lost interest

[mincymoo124]

My baby girl is nearly 5 months old and I love her to bits I'm bonding more with her every day... more than I thought I would as I had a tough pregnancy with depression and anxiety. However, I seem to have lost interest with everything about myself I have put on so much weight I can't bare to look at my self in the mirror especially my stomach. I don't enjoy making an effort with clothes and make-up any more like I used to... I used to love looking nice and feeling nice but now I don't wear make up and just throw on some leggings and a top and it's not because of tiredness. I suppose I just want to feel like myself again and feel nice. I know I need to find some motivation to except use but I just can't. Anyone else been through similar??

hey mincy. i know things get a bit of like that when you have to deal with a little child. when i had my first baby, it was almost the same for me. i didn't get time for myself. i was always busy with the baby and his work. i never wanted to dress up and look nice. but as time passed, i tried to make myself realize that baby is important, but along with that, i am important for my family and baby too. i changed myself. i took care of myself. my baby and i are very happy with each other. i hope you get over this feeling soon too. good luck!
