I’m having a bit of a hard time at the minute adjusting to life with two children. There, I said it. I feel ashamed to admit it really. I feel like I should be basking in my maternity leave sunshine and enjoying every moment and I’m not. Truth is that it’s a lot harder than I thought it would be, having another child. I feel guilty for thinking it’s tough as I know lots of people are in worse situations than me and cope with far greater difficulties. But after a couple of months of thinking postpartum hormones would settle down and I’d stop feeling so numb I had to admit to myself, then to Bird, then to the world via this blog that I’m not coping brilliantly.
I feel relieved though to get it out there. It feels good not to hide the feelings. The more people that talk about post natal depression the better I say!
I’m sure I’m going to get through this just fine but for a minute I think I’ll let myself accept that there are some dark moments in amongst the many, many light.
Good for you for being so honest. It’s bloody hard work. Hope things are improving. Had a little look round – lovely words.
