From people who came through it
“For 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. x”
jaime.mango · been through postpartum depression and anxiety“I was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I wrote down what I wanted to say before the appointment because I alwys freeze. Keep going, even slowly.”
shreya.dust66 · been through postpartum depression and anxiety“Not 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.”
midnight_jay · been through postpartum depression and anxiety“If you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. Back then it was a C-section recovery. I've started painting again. Hang on.”
