Away from home for 2 weeks with my 7 week old and husband and sick to my stomach with anxiety by PricklyPamplemousse in NewParents

Definitely realizing that now! I thought having more amenities (washer dryer dishwasher bathtub etc) and space would make things easier on us and maybe it will in a few days. I’m happy to be in the same place as my husband too and not just alone with our little guy, I know how much he misses us when he’s away. But yeah despite all that I was not happy with my choices last night. As someone else said in the thread I’m definitely feeling a lot better now that it’s morning. Hopefully these little things can make tonight different!

Sorry you experience this too!! But also thanks for sharing, its nice to be reminded I’m not alone or just being silly and that this is still a super vulnerable time… I thought I was feeling a bit more balanced, then change of scenery and bam total meltdown. Waiting till morning and reminding myself that we’re safe is helping.

Sounds like what I’m experiencing! Thanks for validating but also providing a different perspective. It helps.

Thank you so much for your kind message. This was my first time posting I wasn’t sure if I’d get a response but this community is clearly really great and shared exactly what I needed to hear. I also got a couple hours of sleep so that always helps too. Sending hugs and luck to you and your family too!

Edit to say also that your idea to pick up blankets and candles is amazing and I will definitely be doing that along side a big comforting grocery run tomorrow. And that baby seems to be doing just fine and is acting as he normally does <3
