To put it in simple terms, I’m a married mum to a lovely 8m old DS, currently on mat leave.
We don’t have any support because we live far away from our extended family and I feel there are days when I’m so overwhelmed I find it hard to be happy. This results in me snapping at my husband over the slightest thing, get really angry in general if something upsets me. You could say I’m easily triggered. I’m then left feeling with a sense of helplessness over my emotions because I lose control so quickly. Thankfully I find it very difficult to be sad around the baby but today was one of those days which felt rough and I struggled to smile when with him.
Looking for tips on how to shake off such feelings of negativity. Do you ever feel like this? What do you do to make yourself feel better? Is there anything you do to not feel like this at all?
thank you xx
