Overwhelmed with being a Mum

I have posted on several occasions regarding my mental health which came to a head a few weeks ago with me ending up in A&E, suicidal. Since then I have been under the home treatment team and have changed medication. I feel numb a lot of the time now and also feel completely overwhelmed with being a Mum to my just turned 2 year old. The thought of me having to be there for her forever just scares me and I feel like a terrible Mum for it 😢 this can't be normal or is it? Could I have delayed PND? I have had 2 very traumatic events since my dd was born. I just feel like I will never be normal again.

It sounds like you need to speak to your gp/health visitor. You need support around you and possibly therapy to deal with what you've gone through.
I'm so sorry you're feeling this way.
It will get better x

@SouperNoodle thanks for you reply. I am having CBT for anxiety but not for what I have been through. One of them being losing my Mum quite suddenly to cancer 😥😥 I will have some counselling for that once I have finished the CBT.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You've been through so much in such a short space of time so it's no wonder you're struggling. Are you finding the CBT helpful?
Do you have any support from a partner/family/friends?
