My baby is 8 days old and we've been back from the hospital for 2 days now (he had pneumonia so we were in for longer than had hoped).
I hated being in the hospital but now that we're home I'm finding things really hard. I've got these terrible feelings of anxiety which are making me sick and have totally lost my appetite. I know that the tiredness and sleep deprivation have probably got a lot to do with this, but I can't help pining for my old life and feeling like we've made a terrible mistake.
Please tell me everyone goes through this and that it gets better! I just feel so alone
