5 month old and suddenly not coping.

[CocoDeMoll]

In the last few days I’ve felt such an emotional switch in myself. I’ve loved every minute of my new baby but I now feel completely wrung out and so stressed I’m having to take myself away from my children and stress relive (like banging my head against the wall or biting my toothbrush really hard). Last night my baby was crying and I was loudly wailing along with him. I shouted at my older dd this morning which I never do. It feels hormonal like PMT but I’m not due on. What the hell?! There’s been nothing that’s changed resently so I just don’t know what’s going on

Oh bless you. If you have other children as well is it the stress of them being back at school? Having to be up and out for a set time with a new baby again? Whatever the reason don't be too hard on yourself.
Take some time aside to look after yourself. Can you meet friends for lunch? Can dh help? Maybe book yourself a massage?

Thankyou for the kind reply. It doesn’t feel like there is a cause. It feels like horrendous PMT. which is scary because I feeling my emotions are out of control.

I have actually got a massage coming up which my friends bought me. Can’t wait.

Aw hope you're ok. It's normal to have days like this. Things get on top of us even if everything seems to be going alright. If it continues though I'd go to the gp as might be hormonal imbalance? Hope things get better 😊
