This single parenting is so hard , how can someone manage

Iv been taking care of my 3 month old by myself he gets so fussy I have , no help no daycare nothing, I barely have time to eat, he wakes up and I don’t get time to eat if I do cook , I usually order out if I get some cash and stuff my food down my throat.. I barely sleep and my health is diminishing, I don’t know what to do , I can’t give up but some day most days I let go and I can’t even clean my house , my mind can’t think , I have no one to even talk to but my phone..I didn’t think this would be bad ,I try to be patient but I can get angry people say go to sleep with the baby but he barely stays asleep for long, he’s so gassy at times he’s up and I’m so exhausted even if I napped sometime I can’t do this , I don’t see the upside of this getting better and I don’t wanna go back to my ex whose abusive but I feel I might get desperate

Just remember a baby's only form of expressing their needs or pain or tummy ache, hunger, etc is crying 🙁 But their little laughs and trying to
Say words and giggles are so worth any of it. 🌻💙😌But it'll go fast, it will. You're going to be ok, just take one moment at a time. It's ok if the house doesn't get cleaned everyday, you need to put you and your child first. Maybe you can take them in the spring to a baby class , like music or reading, and you can chat with other moms too. You're not alone🌼🤗

@Coralmist that is why I feel I have no energy because I don’t let him cry I make sure I sit with him and usually. He’s very gassy and it frustrates me when it’s hard to get it out but I’m patient with him

@Coralmist lord if like you have to find which one is it but I enjoy my time with him, I had a very rough pregnancy so I’m so grateful I have him in my arms, that also helps me keep patient ..thank you
