You're under a lot of stress, both physically and mentally. Not to mention hormonal. Have you talked to your doctor?

Oh yes! it is soooo very hard isn't it. I was once in your shoes. I had a 2 yr. old little boy who thrived on getting into EVERYTHING and making constant messes :) And then I had a new born baby who I was tied to because I breast fed him. It was really really hard. My husband was gone all week and here I was trying to run a cattering business!!! :)
I don't know how to incourage you other than the normal it will get better soon. Wish I could help you. You need some help that's for sure. Is there no one you can ask for help, even a friend?

It is hard in the beginning. My daughter/in/law has 2 children, one is 2 1/2 and the other is 5 months old. It's hectic I know...hard work and very tiring. I think you need to speak to your doc to get meds maybe for the time being to help you thro'. Is there any family living near you to help or a friend maybe.
Take care

Christmas is lurking.....who has their shopping done? I...
