I'm not coping. Driving over an hour to get to the hospital to see her, staying all day. It's way draining.

I got diagnosed with PTSD after 6 weeks of being a mum. It's been a rough road and I cry every night.

I've recently started drowning my thoughts with either temazepam or alcohol. I can't do this much longer ..

I feel for you so much and have been through a similar situation with the birth of my middle child. I do know that self medicating isn't helpful, only dangerous. It's a very rough road and no one but a mother can ever understand what you are going through. I finally had family and friends tell me I needed to get professional help and that was the best thing I ever did, a couple of weeks after starting medication and talking to a therapist I was able to slowly handle my sons situation. This made me stronger for myself and mainly for my son. If I wasn't coping then I couldn't be strong for him. My son is now 15, happy and healthy and I pray for your daughter to be the same. But you really need to take care of yourself too so you can be strong for your baby!
