I just had a baby 3 months ago and now everything people say hurts my feelings. I feel like i have no friends.

Answer 1

you have the baby blues...

Talk to the doctor...and maybe go to a mommy and me class...between the hormones that are still going crazy and the lack of sleep...it makes new mommies go bananas.

Sometimes it helps to go to the classes to see that you're not the only one going through it...all the other moms are feeling bad and going crazy too. Check with your doctor and your hospital...most hospitals offer classes for cheap or free that will help. :)

Good Luck!!

Answer 2

post partum depression is a common condition among women, but is sometimes not properly addressed. make sure you check with your doctor for ways to control the depression. i currently have the same thing, but it went unacknowledged until my baby was about 3 months old. although i was feeling down for a variety of reasons, during and after my pregnancy, i never really thought it was something i should be worried about until the first day i had to go back to work. the minute that the nurse in our medical department [where i needed to obtain clearance before reporting back to work] asked me how i was i completely broke down.

talking it out helps, too. i visited my GP who prescribed me some medication [which works wonderfully!] and i regularly see an LCSW [licensed clinical social worker] to help me talk things out.

the important thing is have yourself checked as it may worsen or linger for a long while. you, your baby, and your family will all be better off if you are feeling good and not depressed.

Answer 3

I don't really have an answer for that. But, Mommy, perhaps you are tired and need just a little more rest and relaxation. Your life has changed, hours are all out of whack, you have no "personal" schedule any more..all of that can create a lot of stress.

Take some time and get away and RELAX.... don't let what folks say upset you. Those are THEIR oppinions. Enjoy your new baby, enjoy life, enjoy the mement and experience. It will get better. You have to believe that!!! Get a circle of friends for support and all the others are irrelevent.

Good Luck.

ok you have to realize that your hormones are high and so your are going to be extra sensative, you need to tell peopl that you are feeling verry sensative and if they could please not say anything that they think would hurt you, just ask them nicely to think about what they say before they say it keeping in mind that you are crying alot, they will understand! no one hates you and you have your family and friends just try to think about what they say and realy think if they are saying it to hurt you or not before you let your self cry over it, i bet you most of the things they say would not have hurt you before you were ever pregnant...lol...its ok it is all part of being a new mother crying happens. but if you start to feel too overwhelmed see a doctor to make sure you are not going threw some type of depression cause of how you are taking things its called post pardom distress or something, its common with mothers who just had a baby and they can give you pills to make you feel better till it is over. good luck and dont stress the baby can feel what you feel

Answer 5

I am in your exact situation. My little boy is also 3 months, and it seems as if I can do nothing right and nothing I do matters. I don't have any friends were I live, or any family. My husband is always at work, I feel like a single mother.
Perhaps we should email one another and just *itch to each other, you know, vent out everything.

Answer 6

Post pardom depression sweetie is what you have. Yes I was like that myself sometimes you can get over it by ureself but if it gets to be to bad go to the doctor and let him give you something isn't suppose to feel like that you have a new baby that is going to need all mommy's love and trust me you want to be healthy for your baby.

Answer 7

Its a bit of a cliche but the pregnancy process does send a womans hormones into hyperdrive. Your GP will have some sound advice & I'm sure there will be a post natal support group in your area.

Answer 8

ok mommy, i went through that, unfortunately i let myself spiral out of control. you need to let your Dr know how you are feeling. its probably PPD. PPD is a vary normal thing for those who have just had little ones. you feel like you have no life of your own, no one care for you anymore, everything is mean to you, your so tired all you can do is cry, all you want to do is take a bath, and nothing you do anymore is good enough for anyone, and you feel as if you don't mater to anyone anymore, right? or maybe I'm way off. Either way you still need to let your Dr and let him/ her know how your feeling. he/ she can give you something to help level your hormones and get you feeling the way you should.

Answer 9

Maybe you have "the baby blues"(postparital depression) . Take extra care of yourself,(baby yourself). If the feelings get too bad, talk about it with your mother and/or a doctor. Your hormones are re adjusting:)

Answer 10

I would definately talk to your OB about possible PPD (Post Partum Depression) It may not be anything, but it is something you defintely want to look into, just incase. More than likely it might just be your hormones trying to readjust.
