Currently crying I’m just so overwhelmed I have a 5.3.1. 2 month old and I had postpartum depression with 3 and I hate myself I feel everyone will be off without me I lose my patience my newborn don’t let me put him down I’m breastfeeding it’s a lot of work. I feel my house is always dirty I don’t cook or clean like I use to I barely careful myself it’s either I cook dinner or get a clean house I start to self sabotage when I don’t get stuff down or when I scream at my 3 year old(he’s been with his I don’t want to. It’s not fair . I hate this. No mom) time outs don’t help belt hitting don’t help I’ve put him on my 1 year old high chair he will sit there yelling I sit him down at table to trace letters he will rip up paper. I feel so useless ? my husband & I don’t have good communication and trust issues when I try to vent to him he seems to turn it on me so I tend to not say what’s on my mind to start an argument I cry about 2x a day I have no friends I literally speak to about 3/4 relatives I feel so alone sometimes I just can’t go on I hate it I hate feeling like this

Do you have insurance to speak to a mental health specialist?

Oh hun...these are difficult chapters and you doing it with out much support you are a boss. Don't beat yourself up even if you just show up you are doing great. I have struggled with postpartum depression with mine too and it sucks the life out of you when you already feel like you have nothing left. It's not yours or anyone's fault. When I finally broke down and told my doctor I got medicine and someone to vent to about all the overwhelming feelings and situations I felt I couldn't get through. It helped a lot. This chapter isn't forever and though it is really hard you can do it. Those babies need you even if your brain tells you otherwise. You got this. Talk to your doctor even if it just starts with "HELP" , a note in case nothing comes out or whatever works for you.
