From people who came through it

  • โ€œTo 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€

  • โ€œNot 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€

  • โ€œI'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€
