Answer

It gets better. My son is just 2 weeks old .  I was like that last week and thought it would never end . My bf went back to work as well and I had a c section so it made getting around very hard . Everything made me cry and I felt like I couldn't handle anything. I have to say that it is getting better - our hormones will level out . I feel much better this week... Though I still have my moments.

I have a history of anxiety and depression so I made sure to talk to my therapist about it - I think if you have someone like a friend or family go vent to that helps. It also was really hard for me to get out of the house bc of the c section and my Bf didn't really understand since he was getting to go back to work part time and get out. It's helped to force myself to take a shower and put make up on while he is nappigg and go out for a walk and get some fresh air everyday

Answer

Crying hit me the day after I came home with my LO. I had the most overwhelming feeling of missing my husband - even (and especially) when he was sitting right beside me! It's normal to feel that way the first couple weeks after birth (I wish I had been warned about it) - hormones going crazy and exhaustion are a big part of it. What really helped me was my mom keeping him (in our living room) for a few hours while I went to bed, snuggled with hubby, and got some sleep. She did that about 3 nights and it helped SO much. 
But if you're still feeling this way after 2 weeks, please let your doctor know. Post partum depression is no joke and should be dealt with as quickly as possible. It will get better!
