Loosing yourself when becoming a mum

I love being a mum, my beautiful baby girl is my whole world, and this is my problem. I can't separate myself from being mummy. And I think i don't want to,i make no effort to.

My poor partner, he is a great, loving and doting partner that everyone dreams of. I love him so much and I know how lucky i am to have met someone like him.

I get annoyed and dig at everything he does, I won't let him touch me or even kiss me, I don't want anything sexual. I am pushing him away and I can't seem to stop myself.

I don't think i have postnatal depression or anything as i don't feel down i am happy, just not to him. Has anyone experienced this? Will it go away 😓

This absolutely sounds like postnatal depression... I had it, and it was awful. I loved my son, I was happy to be a Mummy. But I was SO paranoid someone would take him away or do better than me with him... please talk to your doctor. You can have happiness and still have depression, trust me.
