Feeling alone
Hi ladies, my daughter is currently 11 months old and recently had her first ilness which she has now recovered from. During that time i also had a health scare and had to have some tests done. Luckily my results are well however due to the stress lately l, today i felt extremely weak and faint. I have been so busy with my daughter and haven’t really been taking care of myself lately, i am also not eating well or sleeping well either. Today for the first time in 11 months i had to call my mother in law to come over so i can lay down for about an hour because i felt utter exhaustion. She is farely young in her early 50s and very fit so she was the first person i thought to call for help as i dont have any other family who live in my state. She told me it was most likely all mental and that maybe i should take anti anxiety medication.
I am really upset with her comment and will never be calling her again in a time of need :(
I unfortunately do not have anyone else in urgent situations besides my best friend who has three kids under three so i would hate to burden her. My husband is having a hard time at work due to covid and is trying to keep things afloat so i feel very lonely and feel like i have no one to talk to. I wish i had more support emotionally, i have seen a therapist however it has become way too expensive and i cant afford to see her anymore either. I love my daughter so much but being a mum is hard work 😞😞
