Heya. It's okay to sometimes feel overwhelmed with being a mother, and it's okay to feel bored because you're having to devote all your time to caring for Lucas, and it's okay to feel frustrated.
It's really, really good that you managed to interact with him so completely for a few hours Ashleigh, even though you were feeling like crap yourself.
Is there any possibility of finding some playgroups/mother and baby groups in your area and seeing if you can take Lucas along to them for a couple of sessions a week? Maybe some structured activities outside the house would be good for both of you, as it will give you a chance to interact with other mums and maybe help you feel less alone?
Have you got anybody that you can call, like a CPN or Dr if you feel that you are going to relapse and need some additional help and support through this time?
Please don't hate yourself.
Take Care,
Ruth
