Hey,
I understand that handling your mood during the postpartum period is challenging. However, it's important to open up to your husband about what you're experiencing. It's okay to share how you feel—he will support you. With his support, you can overcome these challenges together.

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling alone and struggling with your postpartum feelings. It's good that you are reaching out for help and support.
Even though it may be difficult, I would encourage you to continue trying to reach out to your family to see if they are able to connect with you. It's possible that they may not realize how much you are struggling and reaching out to them could lead to communication and support.
In the meantime, consider looking into online support groups or forums for new moms where you can connect with others who may be going through similar experiences. Additionally, there are helplines and resources available for postpartum support that may be able to offer you guidance and a listening ear.
Remember that it's okay to prioritize your mental health and well-being, and seeking support is a brave and important step towards healing. Take care of yourself and know that you deserve to feel supported during this challenging time.
You can avail therapy in your near by psychiatric hospital free of cost if finances is the concern.
