Ever since I had my daughter I feel like I have made the biggest mistake of my life. My fiance is going back to work soon, (next monday) and I know I am going to be so lonely. I dont know what to do with myself. I dont feel bonding or like I am close to my daughter, and I generally feel like we would be better off without her. All I feel is more and more love for my fiance. My stomach is always in a knot and I have problems sleeping. I dont know what to do, I am so emotional and stressed out.....please help me!

I am not a doctor, but I would say that sounds like PPD, I had it with my first, I bonded ok but I cried all the time because I felt like I wasn't a good mother. I went on meds and felt alot better. Talk to your doctor, and don't feel guilty.

I have some of what you're going through. I would talk to a doctor though about it, I know they can put you on anti-depressants which if you don't mind taking will help a lot. I definitely know how you feel about the husband going back to work. Mine's going back to work Monday too and when I think about it, it makes me want to cry. I'm not scared I can't take care of her, but ever since she was born, I want to be attached to his hip. I get upset when he has to go to the store, I get paranoid something will happen to him. I just hope time will make it easier.

Renee I know exactly what you mean...I feel like I should have all this love for our new baby but what I feel more is a bunch more love for my fiance! It feels wrong but that is how I feel, I just feel like I need to be with him 24/7.
