Baby brain getting me down

4 replies

Wiggleroomm · 01/07/2024 19:00

Please help… I am nearly 4 weeks post partum and my brain feels like mush. I feel like I can’t be conversationally adept and even my sense of humour seems to have left the building. I feel pathetic. And because I’m rubbish and slow conversationally it takes all the enjoyment out of socializing which is a further knock.

I know this time is suspoosed to be about the baby but I do need some sort of stimulation and sense of myself to cling on to.

did anyone else feel this way and how long did it last? Anything I can do to improve my Brian cells ? 🤣

thanks

Just know this is normal! You do feel quite foggy. Apparently it can take years to end! But remember you're also massively sleep deprived which has a huge effect on how you can function! Hang in there, people will understand and if they don't then F them :)

Be kind to yourself, you have just been through a massive shock and change to your body/hormones etc, you are massively sleep deprived - things will get easier!
