Hey ladies,

so FOB and I aren't together anymore.. broke up with my on Christmas. Not that I counted us as a couple since September anyways.

But I need some support.. I'm about to have a mental breakdown. My sweet girl is so sick and we can't figure out what it is.

She's on nexium for GERDs, tylenol and orajel for teething at 2 months (?!), and gas meds. She also had anal problems, where her little bottom hole wasn't big enough to poop, so they have to stretch it every week. :(

I'm at my wits end. She's ebf, so I've given up everything I possibly could to see if she's allergic to peanuts, dairy, soy, and nothing works. She's miserable and so am I. I haven't gotten more than 3 hours of sleep straight through for almost 10 weeks now. She barely sleeps and screams all the time. It's not colic so the doctor says because it's a pain scream. I don't know what else to do! I've also started using an ounce or two or formula to help all the spitting up. Helped a little.

I'm doing this all alone, other than my mom, who's there when she can be. But, its so hard.
I hate seeing couples so happy with easy babies. Why was I given a horrible FOB, so I'm alone and have a hard baby? :cry: I can't take anymore :cry: I want to be happy again. I want to sleep again. I want someone to help me and lean on when I'm emotionally spent. But, no. It just keeps getting harder.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
 
Everything seems so rubbish now but just think, you are closer to the calm after the storm than you were at Christmas. You have got out of a relationship you couldn't stand any longer so you and your daughter would have a better life. That is one major positive! Although your LO is going through a lot you are ruling things out everyday, thus narrowing down what is causing her discomfort. You also have the doctor involved which is another support network. Unfortunately we all make mistakes and on this forum the majority of us have in common is the fact we all fell for a stupid/pathetic FOB. But if you hadn't then you wouldn't have your amazing LO and he is one less frog to kiss before the prince comes along.

Keep your chin up, you are doing so well at the moment. This will make you so much stronger and you are being an amazing mum. Always here if you want to rant or vent :hugs:
