Going through it right now. My husband just went back to work tonight, and I cannot stop crying and feeling anxious and alone. He’s been by my side 24/7 for the past 2 months, helping me with our son and being such a supportive partner, and now I feel like everything has changed—I’m all alone and scared.

Hey there! I’m 9 weeks postpartum, and my husband has been back at work since week 5. He works 24-hour shifts, and the first few days were HARD. I had anxiety thinking I couldn’t do this all by myself. But trust me, it gets better! You mentioned your husband went to work tonight, but if you can, consider staying the night at your parents’ house; they can help you a lot while you rest. When I did that, I felt so much better as they helped me with the baby, allowing me to nap. I know everyone’s situation is different, but I wanted to offer a solution you might explore too. Stay strong! You’ll get through this!
