Hi,

I had a baby 5 months ago. We were very very bonded from the start. I was extremely anxious though, and so was he. One day after very stressful circumstances (a move, no sleep, paranoia) I woke up regressed and had no connection with the baby, in fact he looked like someone else's baby. I felt like a kid taking care of a kid. I tried to reconnect but realized I was of a different mindset and tried to switch back, to no avail. My husband and other child only know one side of me (the side I regressed or switched to, never bonded with first child). Now I feel the same about all of them, very detached and ambivalent.

I've seen a few therapists but they haven't heard of this happening. I don't know what to do. Now I just sit in a room by myself.

I forced my husband to quit his job, took my other son out of school, and we moved half way across the world to be near family. I thought this would help, but it hasn't.
