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

Could be postpartum depression. Some women have it for years, if he's 2 then it may be a strong possibility. It's all about balance you have to make time for yourself. Talk to your doctor maybe B-12 or something will get you some energy. My 2, are 3 years apart so I had a 2 year old and newborn, believe me I get it. The years zoomed by before you know it he will be more independent, and won't require you for every little need, just hang in there. Make a plan. I was telling my soulmate the other day about how my daughter was making her own sandwiches and bowls of cereal at 3. I was pregnant, overslept one day and she was hungry she pulled out some ham, bread, got a saucer made a sandwich, plus got herself a bag of chips, she said I'm hungry and I'm not waiting for Mom to wake up. It gets easier! They were both reading by 3 years old. Motherhood was not hard for me at all when they were young.
