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
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
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
