โFor anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. I remember my husband back at work after two weeks like it was yesterday. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. It doesn't stay this heavy.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
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
