Hi there I’ve got a 7 month old baby and I’m really struggling I definitely wouldn’t say I’m depressed just severely overwhelmed and life outside of being a mum has been incredibly stressful , i was due to open up a shop, I had to terminate that due to issues with the landlord and an impending court case, I’m trying to manage that whilst look after a baby full time and also work from home and pay my bills ( I own a vintage clothing business) and I just haven’t got any more to give, being a mum doesn’t end and I love most moments but there’s some days when having a 7 month old who crawls and also has started standing and cruising everywhere where my patience is so thin and I shout and I know it’s not fair on him at all but my only outlet is to shout it’s my first response and I hate myself for it the guilt is all consuming, but I just am at the end of my rope and I haven’t got anything more to give, and I feel like I’m not a good mum and he deserves someone so much better, he wakes up still multiple times in the night I’m exhausted, trying to make sure I pay my bills, sort this court case, accept the loss of a shop and future I had planned for us and also the financial loss of that, I feel so crippled with stress that is affecting how I show up as a mum and I hate myself for it
