Just looking for some advice really

My second baby is currently 4 months old and I just feel so miserable. We had a really long and complicated fertility journey with both our children (3yo Boy and baby girl) and this time round I just feel so low. I have OCD anyway which was really bad after my son was born and has gotten really bad again after this baby - I’m currently on a waiting list for extra treatment but they can’t give me a timescale because the waiting lists are so long.

Being a parent of two is so overwhelming

I feel like I can never get anything done

I still get that pang of sadness when other people announce pregnancies (after miscarriage/infertility it’s still hard to see) and it makes me feel like a horrible person

I quite miss being pregnant - at least then you feel a bit special and “blooming”, now I just feel fat and stressed

This pregnancy was complicated and ended with my daughter being in NICU for three weeks, and I feel really sad about it

I feel like this might be our last pregnancy with all the fertility complications and even though I feel so lucky I still feel really sad to think u naught not get pregnant again

Anyway sorry for the rant. Has anyone else been through similar? Would love some advice

(And no “just enjoy your baby” - that’s not helpful. Or even that simple. Thanks)
