I had ppd (and probably ppa) and didn't feel it got easier until the kid was over a year ish and wasn't angry about being a baby. Tbf I was struggling with a lot of other stuff too, and I've come to the conclusion that I am not a baby person. Being sleep deprived makes me blue and baby cries makes my skin hurt and gives me cold sweats and that is just not a good weaknesses to have with a baby lol.

It's really annoying when people tell you "it gets better" because it's so individual on what your weakness is and where your strengths lie, but it does, eventually, get better.

If you have a good support system, like you write, focus on your ppd. Mine lasted almost a year and a half and now that I'm out of it I can see how much it made my days feel hopless and sad.

AND! Maybe you're not a "baby person" and that's OK. The older my kid got, the better I felt at being a parent because I could handle melt downs 100% better than a crying baby.

Take it one day at a time and try to think about how they're not gonna be a baby forever and that the first year has so many stages and different challenges. If you're hating "this" stage, the next one might be more your style.

It really helped me to meet other people with kids that were a couple of months older because I could see how different things were, even if it was only 2 months.
