From people who came through it
“To 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.”
Shirin V · been through postpartum depression and anxiety“If 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.”
spring_mango · been through postpartum depression and anxiety“To whoever needs this: I was where you are in 2022. I remember when rage I did not know I had, like it was yesterday. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.”
Electrician V · been through postpartum depression and anxiety“For 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.”
