Hi could I get a private post please?
So basically I suffer with post natal depression & anxiety, it has become really bad the past few days so I have been exhausted. Me & my partner – (he is a really amazing man & dad) have got a 1 year old together. He works & I don’t, yet. We have this thing when he’s on earlys I get up in the morning and do everything apart from the night feed, then he puts her to bed & then on lates he gets up in the morning & I do the rest. (Days off are mixed)
Our daughter has a nap in the morning an hour or so after breakfast so I either come back to bed for that time with her or snuggle her on the sofa. But when my partner gets up I ask him all the time come back to bed so he can get a bit more rest etc. & he says no. Our daughter is usually a very good sleeper, the odd getting up through the night but I’m always the one getting up (absolutely fine, I like to leave him to sleep)
This morning I have been up since 4am with her, took her downstairs at 7 to feed, brought her back up at half past 8 for a quick nap, cos surely she’d be tired. She woke up at 9am, I really struggled as I’m exhausted already, so I asked my partner (he’s been on 5 lates already so I’ve got up the past 2 days to give him a break) I asked if he could help and get up with her while I have a quick catch up on some sleep & he’s gone crazy at me. Saying I never help him etc.
When I do & I get he’s tired but it’s not like it was 7am or earlier. 9am, I thought right I just need a bit of sleep, surely he won’t mind. I just need to know am I being selfish??? It’s okay to say I am, cos sometimes I seriously feel like I’m selfish & gets me more down but I need to sleep 😢 sorry for the long post, but tia
