Hunny, it sounds like u might have postpartum depression. Your not a bad mother or anything.. U may just need a little help getting ur hormones balanced again. Go talk to a doctor.. He might prescribe something to help. Ask matthew or ur mom to watch jaiden for awhile and take some "me" time. Relax, have a bath, write in a journal, watch a movie. Just try to calm ur nerves a little.

Active User, very eHealthy

My baby girl is 6 weeks too. Im feeling some of those, like the can't eat, when she cries...At night..I lose it. But I would talk to your doctor, they usually do surveys at your 6 week postpartum check up to see if you're depressed. Good luck though! When was your son born?
