PPD and Deployment
I am a FTM to an almost 4 month old and have been struggling with PPD. I have talked to my dr and am in counseling but I don’t know if it is helping all that much. I am overwhelmed, sad and on edge a lot of the time. I don’t sleep very well and find myself at times losing patience with my baby when he cries endlessly and I go to a different room and scream into the air. My dog also didn’t take the transition to the baby well and is sad a lot of the time.
My husband is in the military and will be deploying soon. This scares the absolute crap out of me. I don’t know how I am going to cope without his help in the evenings. I don’t have family in the same country and me so will truly be alone with everything on my plate.
I feel I can’t properly express to my husband how I feel bc he is just as sad with not seeing his newborn son for months on end. So anytime I complain or voice that I’m stressed and sad, he gets upset about missing so much which I understand.
I don’t know what my question is I guess I just wanted tj vent. If anyone has been in a similar situation and can give me tips pls share!
