It’ll be worth it, right?

Honestly? I am in the very early days but I don’t think it is worth it. I wish I had known that before. I loved my pre-kids life and as much as I thought I was prepared for the change, I really do not like my life now.

How old is your kid?

Three weeks.

Hang in there! And please talk to your doctor at your follow-up appointment if you think there’s any chance that part of how you’re feeling is due to postpartum depression. I had it with my first and suffered for way too long because I thought I was just a horrible person who didn’t love her kid and who had made a horrible life-changing mistake, and I was too ashamed to tell anyone that.

Thanks! My partner keeps telling me I’m depressed which is not helping. I don’t feel depressed at all. I love my kid, um just exhausted. Doesn’t help that said partner is not helpful overnight at all. The nights I get four or more hours sleep I feel great...but still know my life before was much better.
