Postpartum???

Is it normal to still feel down 4 months postpartum, im a first time mom and when I had my baby everything hit and im really young (22) it hurt unfortunately. I don’t know what happened but I cried so much in the hospital just worrying about going home and taking care of my baby with my partner and idk I just did not want to leave the hospital. I didn’t want my partner to go back to work like I just didn’t wanna be alone and now that my baby is 4 months it just feels like im forcing myself to be ok when im not like I need help but idk im so lost and I just worry so much. It’s not like we don’t help but it’s just all overwhelming like I worry she gets bored sometimes because im not doing enough. The whole first month she was here I cried myself to sleep telling my partner I need help idk I love my baby but I suck and k really don’t know what to do. I always try smiling and being in a good mood for my baby because I know that’s what she needs she doesn’t need to see her mom all worried or sad because then she’ll be but im struggling on the inside, I cry just looking at her sleep in my arms idk it just doesn’t feel normal and it’s not okay

Cheating problems

I just want some advice, I caught my partner watching porn while I was downstairs watching our 4 month old, After I caught him he ran after me saying let me explain but here’s a little history we’ve been dating for a little over a year (yes I did get pregnant fast) he did text other girls while I was pregnant and even brought a girl over while I was working, his family convinced me to stay with him for our family but I regret it so much because I know he would do the same things, he’s also an alcoholic but I’m leaving in two days and him and his family don’t know as I do live with them, I’m going back home to my family and they already said they would help while I work as a rn but please lady’s tell me if this would have been your last straw I didn’t leave before because I wanted our family to work but I understand I got this and I know I can make it work for me and my baby
