โI'm not going to tell you it gets better straight away, because that would be a lie. What I will say is that the thoughts don't have to run the whole day. I lied on that questionnaire too, and I wish I hadn't. The health visitor is not there to judge you. Tell one person the truth, even just one. And delete the symptom checker app. It is not your friend at 2am.โ
โFor anyone new to this: Two years ago, that was me. Back then it was not sleeping even when the baby sleeps. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are two years ago. My baby is 4 months and I do not feel what I should, and I couldn't see past it. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. xโ
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
