4 months postpartum and I feel completely lost - normal?
breezy-squirrel · 5/16/2026
Was so happy first 6 weeks. Now I just feel... grey. Going through motions. Don't want to do anything. Husband says it's just tiredness but it feels deeper. Anyone else?

The 4 month mark hit me hard too. Talking to someone (CBT) helped enormously.
This sounds like more than tiredness. Please talk to your GP or HV. PND is real and treatable.
Same here at 4 months. Started antidepressants, life completely different now. Worth talking to your GP.
You're not alone. Postnatal depression and anxiety are far more common than people admit.
Please ask for help. You deserve to feel better. It's not weakness.
