From people who came through it
“For whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Mine was no family nearby. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Sending love.”
homebike66 · been through new parenthood“If you've just found this place, I was in the same place nearly four years ago. For me it was my partner and I fighting over nothing. I've started painting again.”
Sleepy Delta · been through new parenthood“For whoever is where I was: I was right where you are about three years ago. No family nearby, every single day. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back. x”
Grace from Sunshine Coast · been through new parenthood“To anyone just starting out: it's bloody hard. The crying, the weighing, the feeling like you've vanished. I won't say it's easy, but it does change. You'll find bits of yourself again, just slower than you'd like. Accept help when it's offered, even if it's just someone holding the baby while you shower. And if you're struggling, tell someone. I wish I had sooner.”
