Hey, well, like the heading says, there is something happening to me and I am not sure what it is.
I had a baby 7 weeks ago and since then my head feels a bit 'fried'. She isnt a very demanding baby. From the time I brought her home, she wakes up twice every night. So I get my sleep in. It started 2 weeks ago. I was watching a movie and suddenly my head was saying the movie is incomplete. There is something missing. I got so wound up I had to switch it off. The next day I read a favourite book of mine and the same thing happened. I couldnt finish reading it. It was all wrong. That night I began writing a story I have had in my head for a while. But it wasnt like I wanted to write, it was like I HAD to write. Like I was being forced. I didnt sleep all night. I kept the little one by my side and I wrote all night. I eventually went to sleep 11 the next morning out of exhaustion. Then I was fine again till now. Its happening again. I cant watch tv or read anything. My mind is saying its wrong and incomplete! What is going on with me????

Hi Tabitha ~ I'm no doctor, but it sounds to me like you're having some kind of "post-partum" episode. Keep in mind that your hormones are all messed up right now, and things just aren't quite "normal." After having a baby, many times we just don't feel "ourselves." I know I didn't after the birth of my kids. I couldn't sit still - I couldn't sleep - wasn't hungry, etc. This continued until after my first period -- which was months away due to the fact that I breast fed -- many times that will delay your period.
If I were you, I'd talk with my doctor about it. Perhaps he can suggest something to make you feel more "together." You're CERTAINLY not crazy!!! LOL God bless & take care -- and congrats on your new little angel! Hugs, Lee |
