โI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I wrote down what I wanted to say before the appointment because I alwys freeze. Keep going, even slowly.โ
โIf you've just found this place, I was where you are a year and a half ago. A C-section recovery, every single day. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart. You're not on your own.โ
โTo the new mum reading this: I know you are scared and ashamed. I was too. But you are not a bad mother for having these thoughts. It is the illness, not you. Tell one person, a nurse, a friend, your mum. Get help. It might take time, and the first medicine might not work, but keep trying. You will laugh again. I promise. And if you can't believe that yet, let someone else believe it for you. It is okay to need help. It is not your fault.โ
โNot that long ago, about a year, that was me. I remember my husband back at work after two weeks like it was yesterday. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. It doesn't stay this heavy. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
