So just wondering if anyone else has felt this way. My baby is 6 weeks old. I want to say first the of course I feel totally blessed with my baby and like my family is now complete but i just feel sad. I know tiredness can have a role to play. Im just so irritable and feel sad and tearful but not sure why.
I just want to be left alone really by everyone apart from my sons and my partner.
I don't want visitors although i'll still see people. I just really don't feel myself and want to be left alone in my little bubble.

I guess I'm just after some advice or maybe reassurance that I'm not just a strange human lol.

I felt like that and it did pass for me so I think it was just tiredness I just took a few more naps and a bit more self care which helped. I talked to my partner a lot at the time so he kept an eye on me. So keep an eye on it could be something could be nothing and confide is someone you can trust to be objective and encourage you to see someone if it becomes something bigger
