I Battle Self-hatred, Anxiety, And Depression

Hello...

I pretend to be fine on the outside all throughout the day. I cleaned I cooked, I took care of my baby. I felt good today, I did something, I felt like supermom. But in reality all I did was do things that any mom would do on a normal basis. It's different for me because I haven't had the energy to do anything extra besides trying to keep my LO happy,fed and cared for. Everything else in my life is on the back burner.

But today, I felt better,I had energy. Now that it's night time and everything and everyone is settled,I'm having panic attacks. WHY!? I thought I was getting better..why do I feel so restless. I feel like it's hard to breathe. Why can't I have a good day and not feel like this afterwards. There was no trigger. Nothing happened except that I let myself relax and enjoy that I accomplished something today.

I'm so tired of this feeling.

I'm here if you would like to talk.

It sounds like you are struggling with post-partum depression.

@Laifu1: I've felt like this for a while. Even pre baby. It's definitely gotten worse since having her I have no doubt it could be ppd but it's also my own issues. She's 1 now. It didn't start getting worse until she was about 9 months old though so I'm not sure how that works

@Anonlife2017: Have you seen a doctor? I felt like that when my daughter was little. I felt overwhelmed just trying to get through the day.
