ever since having my second baby i honestly haven’t felt like myself at all

i thought it would be easier this time because i already went through the newborn stage before but mentally it’s been so much harder on me

i feel overwhelmed all the time anxious for no reason and sometimes i just feel numb i love my kids so much but i hate feeling like this every day

did anyone else struggle more after their second baby and does it actually get better with time because right now i feel really stuck mentally

i had my baby a few months ago and lately i feel like i’m not really myself anymore and i don’t know if this is normal or if i should be worried

some days i feel okay but most days i’m just overwhelmed for no clear reason i get anxious over small things i overthink everything and sometimes i just feel empty or disconnected even when i’m with my baby

i love my baby so much but at the same time i feel guilty because i’m not enjoying this phase the way i thought i would i get irritated easily i cry randomly and then i feel bad about it after

i keep wondering how long this lasts does it actually go away on its own or do you have to get help for it i feel like it’s affecting my mental health and even how i act with my husband and people around me

if anyone went through something like this how long did it take you to feel normal again and what actually helped you

i just want to feel like myself again honestly
