Baby is 2 weeks old and I feel like my whole world has changed I knew it was going to but I didn’t know it would feel this lonely I don’t think the current climate helps with this virus and social distancing but I really feel out of it and I’m struggling. My husband went back to work pretty quick and I am from the UK originally but living out here now with no family and I love my baby the world over but it’s soo hard it’s constant and I have had zero sleep and struggling breastfeeding I feel like such a failure and want to run away! </P> Mon, 13 Apr 2020 09:53:12 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/what-s-happening-to-me/m-p/482759#M41435 SashyP 2020-04-13T09:53:12Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/what-s-happening-to-me/m-p/482760#M41436 <P>Hi SashyP,</P> <P>Welcome to the forums! </P> <P>I'm sorry to hear you are going through this! it cant be easy being a new mum especially in a time like this and when you dont have your family around! </P> <P>One thing you are not is a failure! not even close. </P> <P>To be honest with you - I have no idea what you are going through, I'm a bloke with no kids so anything I say will probably wont be useful but you are amongst friends here. </P> <P>My sister had twins when she became a mum!
