Why do I feel this way?

Question

I just had my baby a few days ago and I absolutely feel depressed. I should be happy but I'm not, which makes me feel like such a horrible mother.. I can't even stare at my daughter without wanting to cry, & also my boyfriend irritates the crap out of me and I seriously can't help but think that I really don't want to be living..

Answer

I personally haven't been through this but I know that this can be very common in a lot of women after they give birth, I recommend seeing a doctor or mental health specialist but more importantly know that they're feelings are temporary and to just try your best as a new mother and know it may be difficult, these feelings should fade if not definitely seek help. congrats!

Answer

Have you talked to your doctor about postpartum depression? It's more severe than baby blues. I've been through it, it sure is no picnic. Don't be ashamed to get yourself some help. It's the best thing you can do for your family!
