I have 2 DC, a DS 3 and DD coming up to nine months.
I have been through the ringer since DD was born, anxiety and depression and worrying feelings about my daughters development. I have been seeing a psychologist with DD for about 3 months now and it is helping to get to the cause of the problem and I guess the crux of it, which is that since she was born I have not felt connected to her.
Sometimes are worse than others, but in the bad moments it feels like a very dark place to be and I have wanted to just run away.
I feel so very sad and disappointed that this has been our experience as one thing that is certain, I have never doubted my love for her (it is actually quite overwhelming), it just feels like there is a wall between us and I can't reach her.
I was wondering if anyone else had been through similar and come out the other side?
Do you get to a point where things are natural and normal and you don't spend every moment thinking about how your interactions have been and whether that was a good one or a bad one etc.
I know everyones experience is different, I am just needing a few words of encouragement at the moment.
Thanks.
