I regret becoming a mom...

Before i got pregnant i had time to sleep and be lazy, thats what i miss the most. Now im always on edge. My mental health is declining and im on meds. Meds that make me feel drowsy but i cant sleep because i have a kid to take care of. I loved being in the gym. But im so tired and now i have flat feet i cant even walk a mile and do abs after. Im declining so bad.

Whats even worse is my mental health meds made me gain 100 something pounds. I look and feel terrible.
I dont regret my son 1 bit but motherhood isnt for me. And im trying to be strong. Idk how the hell other women had 3.. this shit is impossible to do

Please seek help for both you and your son.
Talking to a therapist ,life coach, other moms and figuring out how to handle your time in a way you can get back to doing some things you love doing.
I'm not sure what your financial situation is, but maybe a couple days your child could go to daycare so you could have somewhat of a break?
Are your parents in the picture they may babysit?
Some cities have programs to help people that don't have the money to send their child to daycare a few times a week, that might be something to look into.
Head start is a program, that once a child is potty trained , they can go to a preschool a few days a week .
Even provide transportation.
