Lost interest in everything

it's surprising how life changes once you're a parent right? sometimes we forget we're also individuals beyond being moms. maybe finding small moments for yourself might help lift that fog?

sounds like you're juggling a lot right now. maybe mix your interests with your child's activities? like, if you loved cooking, try simple recipes with the little one. it could make things fun and give you both some quality time. even small changes can sometimes spark something new.

My sister felt similar after her first born... good luck!

sounds like you're dealing with an identity shift, which is totally normal when major life changes happen 🤔 but i can't help wondering if there's a way to integrate some of those old hobbies or passions back into your routine, even in small doses.

It's wild how becoming a parent flips everything upside down, huh? It's like your entire world shifts focus, and those personal hobbies and interests kinda take a backseat. But hey, maybe it's less about completely letting go of who you were and more about finding new ways to blend that old spark with your new life. Maybe there's something small in your day-to-day routine that could bring back some of that clarity you're missing; is there anything from before that's quick and easy to pick up again, even just for 10 minutes? Just tossing ideas out there... hope it helps! 😊

gotta say, you're definitely not alone feeling this way. it's wild how life can throw you for a loop when kids come into the picture. maybe letting go of the idea that balance has to be perfect might help? some days are just gonna be chaotic messes... and that's ok! 🤷‍♂️

sounds kinda normal, tbh!

man, parenthood sounds like such a wild ride. it kinda reminds me of my buddy who had similar feelings after his kid was born. he ended up starting this thing where he'd just take 5 minutes when the kid was napping to do something that felt completely "him," even if it was just jamming to an old favorite song or doodling in a notebook. those tiny moments really helped him feel more connected to himself again; maybe it's not about big changes, but sneaking in bits of your former self whenever you can. i'm no expert, obviously, but might be worth trying? life's chaotic and finding your groove takes time for sure 🙂

u not alone lots of new mums feel same u gotta hang in there its nuts rite

honestly i can relate to what ur saying because it's super common among new parents especially when adjusting to such drastic shifts in lifestyle and priorities. even tho we wish things could quickly go back to the way they were before, change takes time – more than we'd expect.

It's intriguing how parenthood can bring such a profound change in one's life dynamics; Every aspect of your day is now orbiting around the needs and growth of another tiny human. Your mention of feeling disconnected resonates with many parents who go through this transformative phase where their identity feels somewhat eclipsed by parental responsibilities. Have you considered perhaps embracing this new chapter by documenting your experiences? Sometimes, putting pen to paper or keys to keyboard serves as an outlet for those feelings that are hard to verbalize and might even reignite that spark; The ebb and flow of emotions you're experiencing are part of adapting to these wonderful, albeit challenging, changes. Is there something you've always wanted to try but never got around to, maybe now could be an opportunity to explore it within the confines of your current circumstances???

Have you thought about joining a local parent group or something, where maybe you can connect with people going through the same thing?

It does seem tough dealing with these feelings but remember self-care is key too! Taking small steps towards regaining small interests might nudge you back into feeling better.

parenting feels overwhelming!
