depression 😔

Monica

I'm 5 months postpartum and lately I've been feeling a bit down. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I'm stuck at home 99% of the time taking care of babies. I don't work since my son is still so small. I'm very against daycares so I choose to stay home for now instead..but it can still get pretty depressing. I love my kids more than anything but I'm starting to feel very unfulfilled with my life. People are always talking down about stay at home mom's. How we basically do nothing all day and I know I shouldn't let that bother me because any stay at home mom knows that's farthest from the truth. I also suffer from anxiety and depression. Have for over 16 years now and depression can hit me very easily. I just feel like I have no kind of life other than being a mom. The only social interaction I get is social media and my mom or sister. I think I just miss going out. I'm in leggings and tshirts basically everyday. I get dressed up probably every 3 months..if I'm lucky. I know that once you become a mom things like that stop but it's very isolating. I know this is probably something I'm just feeling right now and I know I'm not alone feeling like this. I just wanted to share my feelings.
