Am I Imagining Things
So I have had problems with depression and anxiety most of my life but I never saw anyone or talked to anyone other than when I forged my mom's signature and joined a help group at school. (I'm 18 graduated last June I'm a freshman going on sophmore college student)
Recently I was made aware I have PPD and honestly I knew I had it I just kinda went with it. Anyway I was told that when you have a baby your relationship with the other parent changes. My significant and I have been together over five years and I feel like everything changed when I got pregnant. He begged me literally begged me to start a family and I don't regret it I love my family we even live together. Its just I feel like all the love, emotion, anything I had with my significant he stopped showing me and only shows our daughter and it's not that I'm jealous I'm really not I love seeing him with her it's truly beautiful. I just miss feeling I guess important to someone even appreciated.
I don't even get told I'm doing a good job with me baby or anything and I stay home with her all day never a complaint in sight even though I'm very sick with a gallbladder that has to be removed, recovering still from an emergency C-section, now PPD as well and I get up Everytime my little girl calls with a smile and love on my face. Then I try doing school work and living life as best as possible.
I feel like it's just the PPD making me feel the way I do but at the same time I can't help but wonder am I using the PPD to cover up what's around me giving everyone an easy out from making me feel worse instead of better.
I really don't know what to think or feel.
My little girl makes me happy though which I think helps.
