10 month old and stressed

[CatandThings]

I’ve got a 10 month old baby, who I adore and love, but I am really struggling.
my stress is so uncomfortable. I can’t get anything done. I’m going back to work on Thursday for 2 days a week but all I want to do is curl up and cry.
everyone who said they would help never did. It’s just me doing everything. My partner is a work from 6-6 and so isn’t really there to help.
does it get easier? How do I stop feeling like this? What do people do to make themselves feel better?

Sorry to hear . I know it feels overwhelming but once you get into a routine it will feel easier. Have you spoke to your health visitor or GP about how you feel? They could offer further support, there really is no shame at all in asking for help.

Hi CatandThings,

Is there anything in particular you are feeling stressed about?

My DD is about to turn 10 months and I still find it hard to get things done sometimes so you have my sympathy.

Is your child any good at entertaining themselves? I put mine in a walker sometimes and let her toddle around which buys me a bit of time.
