the pics are when i was pregnant and after i had her
I don’t know how old your baby is but if you want to lie in bed and cry all day and are depressed, you should go to the doctor. It sounds like you have post partum depression. They’ll be able to help you. And once you’re emotionally in a better place, the physical should follow.
BIG hugs!!!!
Your tummy is lovely and you are as well.
It sounds like the feelings of sadness and despair could well be postpartum depression. Please seek out help for both YOU and your little girl. Best of luck.
Don’t be sad is your new life and body, try a good diet if you cannot exercise, but you need to learn as a mother and young beautiful girl to love yourself first and help you to looks better if you like.
Dear Anonymous,
Have you considered seeking some emotional support throughout this period? Whilst the changes to our bodies are often very difficult to adjust to, you should not have to feel incapacitated by despair. It sounds like you’re really struggling, and you shouldn’t have to go through it alone.
Your body has been through a lot in these past 9+ months – it had to grow and support a whole other life – it will continue to change in times to come; where you are now isn’t where you will be forever.
I’m sorry your partner hasn’t been showing you as much love and affection as you need. Your body brought his daughter into this world, and that is an amazing thing.
Becoming a mother is a big change in so many ways; try and surround yourself with positive, supportive people and don’t ever feel ashamed to say, “I need help/support/someone to listen”.
Best of luck <3
