Im really struggling today :'o(

[winbig82]

Ive been bringing my LG up by myself since she was 3 weeks old, shes almost 9 months now, I have my mates around quite a lot but only been away from her for about 10hrs in 8 months - my LGs been a pain in the arse these last few weeks and out of nowhere I suddenly feel like I cant cope, I feel so stressed out its unreal, I have never felt like this before, I feel like I dont want her - As soon as I even stand up she starts going nuts, I dont know what to do I just wish I had some help xxx

Do you have any family that could look after her for a few hours occasionally for you ? You really sound stressed hun, and although your a mum you need me time too, if not your family how about a close friend ? You need to tell some one close how your feeling, i can understand, my first baby, a girl was verry demanding, if i ever put her down for 5 mins she screamed, she wouldnt even go in her cot, always had to be my bed, it was exausting ! And i was with her dad at the time, so it must be even harder for you, huggss hun x

Hey sweetie, its ok and completely understandable that you feel overwhelmed. Parenting is a big job even with a partner, let alone by yourself.
You love your baby, these are only passing negative feelings because your coping mechanisms are low at the moment.
I would suggest the following to help build you up:
Join a mothers group, so you and your baby can spend a small amount of time with other mums and babies each week. There may even be a single parents play group. Look into it, ask your doctor or the local maternity unit, they usually know what's available.
I'd also see your doctor and tell them how you are feeling, they may suggest anti-depressants for a time to help you. Or maybe some high concentrate fish oil.
Look into counselling. Its great to have an objective person to unload on and get advice from (I do this).
Keep your support network of family or friends close and try branching out and making more friends. If you take your baby to the local park you are likely to run into other mothers.

Just remember, you are a great mother and these feelings are expected when you get overwhelmed, just reach out for help.
