Feeling low and alone

[MamaThr3]

DS3 is nearly 4 months and lately I've been feeling very low. I've been fine- busy and sometimes but rushed and stressed with 3 kiddies but not negative. But just in the last week I've started feeling very low, negative thoughts and not knowing who talk to.

I don't have a close relationship with my mum and other family members have their own issues going on. I've really discussed personal/deep issues with friends and its proving difficult to get DH to understand how I'm feeling.

Its getting me really low. I don't think its as severe to be classed as PND but definitely clouding over my day.

Can anyone relate and is there light at the end of this very dark tunnel??

I've never really*

Hiya, short answer yes and yes! There's definitely light at the end of the tunnel.

Don't count out PND, it can be mild as well, but it's also worth thinking if there's anything particular that's really dragging you down (no me time, no exercise, lack of sleep, nothing to look forward to etc) and see if you could improve any of these even a tiny bit. I'd speak to the HV or GP - better now than waiting until it gets "bad enough"!
Well done for asking for some advice on here and I'm sure others will have thoughts too. x

Its weird because its just suddenly come nowhere. I've been doing ok- have a little me time at the end of the day, have things to look forward to...had some up days and some down days but nothing too overly terrible has happened.

Just feel horrible..like a bad mum ..I'm getting irritable and negative and I don't know just altogether low.

Don't feel like my GP would get it...they usually aren't the best im regards to emotional/psychological health.

I’m feeling similar - I have two girls (4.5yrs and 11 weeks). I’m exhausted and totally fed up with dragging my poor baby out on the school runs when it’s cold, dark and miserable. It makes me feel so guilty. I’ve had a run of bad luck lately with various things going wrong in the house and tonight I got really tearful as I’ve just had enough of it all. Could it be that you need to take Vit D to boost your mood? I’m going to start taking mine again as I found it really helpful especially this time of year x

It is normal to feel like this and I would say please reach out to someone and speak, I'm sure a trusted friend would want to let you vent to them and would want to be there for you if they knew.

It's such a relief to tell someone how you're feeling.
Hope you feel better soon
