My experience with Postpartum Psychosis

[@islenyerazo]

Being a mom in and of itself is so overwhelming. Add all of the other stuff you went through and imagine. I was just telling Ricardo that after Elías was born when I had a 1 yr old and the newborn I never slept and I started hallucinating and I cried like all the time. A support system is so important. I’m so glad that now you are doing so much better 😊 Life is hard but it shouldn’t be that hard. Good for you for looking for help. Some people just end up in very bad endings.

I totally have intrusive thoughts all the time about my kids it’s so scary..I thank the Lord I have my family around us I can totally see how your circumstance back then of being technically alone could have snow balled that way...you seem like you came out stronger from all this!! 💪

Currently going though this right now it’s so scary I hate these thoughts

No one ever tells you about intrusive thoughts and it’s so terrifying when it happens to you.

I had postpartum psychosis in 2015.

Hi my wife and I have been dealing with it for the past 15 years, it kills me to see her taking meds... we are searching for healthier alternatives, any suggestions?

@@theresalwayshope5101 thank you for sharing your story. Mu wife has tried to stop the meds several times but everytime the psychosis returns

[@theresalwayshope5101]

It’s really hard without meds, you just have to find the one that works with the least side effects

[@BeingBetter]

@@theresalwayshope5101 I can add, Natural supplements aren't always enough!! Psychosis is dangerous and should be treated with antipsychotics. I had psychosis and fortunately didn't end in tragedy or divorce. But y'all, take your meds.
