A lost mom

My three months baby boy is the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me, but I found myself being lost and lonely these days. All my time goes to him and as much as I feel the joy and happiness, I feel more lonely than ever. Anyone else feel the same?

3 months is still tiny, and babies are all consuming. I have very stable mental health in general but after having DD I remember feeling anxious/not myself/stressed/panicky all of the time. My hormones settled around 9-12 months but it was still all consuming. Things only started to seem truly better and I got back to being 'me' around 18 months upwards.

Do you get out with your DC, or see anyone(family/other mums) ?

Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️ I've recently moved to a new city, hence have yet to make new friends or feels like a part of a community... it really is consuming. Sometimes I couldn't tell the difference between day and night and didn't even bother to dress up everyday. Literally in my pyjamas until 4-5pm...

Hi moms!!! I feel the same 🥹 What did you do to get through this rough mental stressful phase?? If you don't mind me asking. Sometimes, I just can't tell my friends and family as they are so far and I don't want them to be worried. And my husband works a lot so we don't get to chat. But knowing there are moms like you ladies out there, it gives me comfort that I know it will get better! I literally read those random motivational quotes for my own mental well being. Just wish there are more validations in life for us 😢
