DD is 12 weeks old. Since day 1 or even before, it hasn't been right. In a nutshell I feel trapped, unable to cope with even her most basic demands, I miss her when she's not here but within 5 minutes of her coming back I want to hand her over to DH and disappear. I've cried more in the last 12 weeks than in 36 years and I just want it all to go away. I love her to bits but can't cope with being with her most of the time and I'm not enjoying this special time.
I'm under the doc for high bp and go back every so often to have that checked. Each time they ask how I am coping, I hear myself say that I'm fine but inside my head I want to scream that I'm not.
I hate being out of control and the idea that people would think I can't cope with my own child but I need to get this sorted. How do I start the conversation? Docs asks 'how are you doing?'. What do I say?
