Rough day..

I definitely struggle with PPD but am on medications for it. I go back to work on Monday so I think that's why a lot of these feelings are arising.

Babe is 8 weeks old. Seems to be going through a very fussy phase. But honestly she's been that way since she was born. I'm pretty sure she's going to be a high needs baby which sucks because I don't know if I'm cut out to raise a high needs child.

Everyone comments on how she's "fussy" or asks "what does she want, is she hungry?". I feel like no one else's child around me has been or is like her. Everyone just tells me "it'll get easier". Well what if it doesn't?

Husband and I don't believe in cry it out but of course people are quick to say, oh just let her cry- she just wants to cry. Which then leads to them thinking it's my parenting that's causing her to be so needy. Ugh.

Today is a bad day.
