Baby blues?

Is it normal to hate myself after baby? I love baby to bits, but atm I am pretty much house bound (I have MS too), cry every day when I've never been a big crier. How long till this stops?

What do you mean by hate yourself OP? It can definitely be normal to not love the way you look after having a baby, and to feel a bit overwhelmed by your new life, but “baby blues” typically only lasts 1-2 weeks max, beyond that you could be dealing with PND. I’m sorry you are struggling x

I feel like im not a person anymore, I don't even know what I enjoy doing and I feel lonely. I've decided I need to start reaching out more in the hopes it will help 🙂 if it keeps up il speak to my doctor, I know mental health isn't something to ignore 🙂

I think,having a baby can be overwhelming, and managing MS on top of that is tough. But don’t be too hard on yourself. Reach out for support.
