Emotional disconnecr after delivery
I delivered my baby girl six months ago and since then I feel very disconnected with everyone around me.. Even with my own family.. Earlier I used to bother a lot about them but now nothing seems important to me.. I know that this is not me.. I was never like this before delivery.. Even till before the delivery date I was very much connected with my parents and husband.. But off late I have been introspecting myself and feel that iam not thinking enough about them.. Does this kind of disconnect happen to other women also after delivery

Hi, I wonder if you might be obsessed with the newborn for a long time and suddenly realized the change, which is unacceptable to you? and the sudden change is making you anxious? similarly, frequent sleepless nights, because the infant needs constant care. the tiredness, and fatigue force people towards aloneness.
Next Steps
Notice the changes , start light physical exercise. Consult a therapist

You are feeling upset after delivery and you are feeling disconnected with your family after delivery. Consult a psychologist and explain about what you are going through in detail. Counseling sessions will help you.
With a psychologist you can explain about what you are going through and if you have symptoms such as anxiety, sleep issues, appetite problem, reduced concentration and crying you can talk about it with a psychologist.

This is because of postpartum depression.
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a major form of depression. PPD includes all the symptoms of depression but occurs only following childbirth. It can begin any time after delivery and can last up to a year. PPD is estimated to occur in approximately 10 to 20 percent of new mothers.
Next Steps

What you are suffering from sounds like Postpartum depression. It is common. Research estimates that around 19% of Indian women population experience this.
A lot of the women experience what you are currently experiencing. It's just that this is something that doctors and nursing staff does not prepare you for or inform you off. So you end up feeling guilty or afraid of what is happening inside of you.
Next Steps
Seeing a therapist who has been trained in Perinatal Mental Health will be able to help. But at the same time there are a lot of resources online that might help you.

Hi... You have pointed out a very unique perspective based on your personal experience with pregnancy and delivery.
When it comes to such complex process like child birth, every women experiences it in their own unique manner. There are women who experience varied mood disturbances and even depression, pre or post delivery. Also, there are women who do not face such complications and experience pregnancy and delivery as a very natural process. But it is not uncommon to feel a void after delivery and a change in their psychological experience and behaviour.
This change in your ability to relate with your parents and husband has a part to do with you being a mother, which means that you are biologically grind to think and feel more about your offspring, as their survival and upbringing depends a lot on it. Human offsprings are a lot more dependent on their parents for a much longer period of time, compared to other animals. So mothers tend to care more about them based on their biological grinning.
Also, their is a mild possibility that the changes you are experiencing are a product of hormonal or neurochemical changes (although 6 months is good enough) caused by the process of child birth, which may go away in the due course of time.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Interpersonal Relationship Counselling is required.
