Feeling crap!

[Vic27]

Moan alert! I'm probs just feeling sorry for myself but lately I've been feeling so down and I feel awful for feeling like this as I should b happy. It's nothing to do with my little boy he's the only thing giving me something to b happy about in my life right now. I just feel a constant worry wether it b about him my marriage money or the way I look. I feel so alone right now and when I try talk to my husband it's turns into an argument especially when money is the subject. We have came into some unexpected financial difficulties which I'm constantly worrying about but my husband is so laid back which pisses me off tbh instead of calming me down. I hate the way I look and everyone keeps saying give yourself a break u only gave birth 5 weeks ago but I feel disgusting! I worry that my husband doesn't find me attractive anymore he never touches me we have totally lost that closeness and I'm worried that we won't get it back. I am a natural worrier and I am very hard on myself but I just feel like I've lost myself I don't feel like me anymore I love being a mum and wouldn't change it for anything but just feeling a bit lost just now. Anyone else felt like this? X

Of course, everyone goes though self doubt and difficult times.
Youve just been through a very exciting and life changing time. Now the dust settles and you have to adjust to a new life thats going to take some time. Dont be so hard on yourself. Bacially anyone that gets trhough the first 2 years with themselves and baby still alive has done well and anything else is icing.
If id given birth just 5 weeks ago im not sure id be out of my pjs and dressing gown yet! It will take time to to get back to pre preg normal with your partner and perhaps you should tell him how you are feeling, try to fix up a date if you can find someone you trust to watch over little one for a couple of hours.
Try not to stress to much or expect your body to snap back after 8 -9 months of stretching and working over time.

Take care and make sure that if this persists that you tell your gp.
Good luck
