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

Sometimes you know its more than having baby blues and if thats the case try and seek help. Im not sure how old your child is but if the baby is very young I know they wake up a lot and then get a cold or something on top of that, but i promise it wont last forever. If you have the money theres nothing wrong with daycare for a couple of hours either.
The weight gain, can become all consuming depression. The hardest part of exercising is when you just start and its so hard to start when you're depressed.
My therapist told me something Ive been trying to follow. They told me our bodies love our moods. Like I want to just lay in bed or sit on the couch because im depressed. My depression says sitting here feels better than getting up and doing something so i go with it. But im supposed to do the opposite of what my mood gets my body to agree with. I have to go walk when my body says this is more comfortable right here. Its hard, but Im getting better at it.
