Feeling lonely and isolated
I am almost 18 months postpartum and I feel like my mental health keeps getting worse. I work full-time while also caring for my little one concurrently. I feel like the friends I do have are so busy with their lives that I can’t unburden myself on them.
I feel like I’m failing at motherhood as well as my job. I feel like I am the one responsible for everything having to do with the home while still expected to pay 50%. My partner is helpful, but I am horrible at asking for help and just wish they could see that I’m drowning. It makes me build resentment towards them because they don’t, but I’m also really good at masking until it’s too late.
I just want someone that I can talk to without them trying to come up with solutions. I have an intake with a therapist on Monday, but these past few days have just been extra rough. Sorry if this is all over the place, but I just needed to unload the weight I’ve been carrying.
