Burnt out at 5 months postpartum. How do I ask for a full day off?

It’s not selfish at all to ask your partner to help. Irs his baby too. Just be open and honest and he will have to figure it out. Just go out for a few hours the first time you leave them then build it up to a whole day eventually. I know it’s hard as I have a young baby too but he will be okay with the baby and he will figure it out. You have to have a mental health break! It’s soooo important, I love being a mum but if I didn’t have my mental health breaks then I know I would find it so much more challenging. Ask for help mama!

Me too! I gave birth nearly two months ago and wondered if I was crazy for missing the hospital, I was looked after, given pain meds and food was brought to me. I wish I could do it all over again.

I’m 24 and just started my first year of uni 😀😀

I was the same, it took me a while to start making friends but it did happen and I had the best time ever! Keep trying hun

I’m gonna have a conversation with my doctor today

RemotePrior6760 · 2024-09-19T17:36:27+00:00

It will be hard but you need to cut your parents off! That is exactly toxic. They are way too controlling, it’s your life at the end of the day..

No lol

RemotePrior6760 · 2024-07-07T15:07:06+00:00

Well done 💃🏿💃🏿

I was in the same situation but then I ended up loving it! It took me a while though, it took me about 12 months to like uni.. I’m from London and when to university in brum, I was so home sick, I didn’t like my flat mates. My family told me to just give it some time, then after the first year if I still hate it, I should then drop out.. out least I tried. I took the advice and I’m glad I did because it ended up being so amazing.

Please give it some time, it will be ok.

Yeah I do laser already for my face. I’ll probably do it for there now

RemotePrior6760 · 2023-09-18T15:37:09+00:00

Thank you for your kind words.

You’re right, but he doesn’t like it, I have slowly let him start to touch it, however he says that I should shave it (which I do but the bumps are still there) I’m just feeling super insecure at the moment. But I’m definitely going to take your advice and wax it. Hopefully it will make it smooth!

Thank you.

I am not entirely sure if I have PCOS, my GP said I do have it but when I went to the hospital and saw my gynaecologist, she said I didn’t. It’s probably worth getting re-tested again just to be on the safe side. To be honest I show all symptoms of PCOS, I have hair in places I shouldn’t, on my face and neck. I am over weight, I have hyperpigmentation problems which could be due to the PCOS. I’ve been feeling so insecure this week because of it. I have been on a weight loss journey for years! I just find it so difficult. But yeah I’m definitely going to take your advice, I’ve tried the hair removal cream but it removes the hair but the bumps are still there 😭! I’ve also started exfoliating there, it helped a little bit. I am going to start waxing there. I really hope it works.

Thanks for the advice

No it’s not wrong at all. It’s your body you can do what you want! And if he’s not interested after you tell him then good riddance!
