Absolutely stay in touch with people who show you love or who have children themselves. Stay in touch with your higher power if you have one. And most of all don’t opt out therapy.

[@worm4493]

I know this isn’t my place but i just have to say- as a woman with no children, you are so brave. I mean spartans buried women who died in childbirth with the same honors as soldiers who died in war. You’re a veteran in your own right, and you are not crazy. It’s hard, incredibly hard, especially to feel so helpless and alone, but you love your baby and struggling does not make you a bad mother. A bad mother has no worry about their child or how they’re turning out, but I can tell that you do. It’s okay to struggle and be unable to take care of yourself, because sometimes taking care of yourself just means keeping your head afloat. And I am a total stranger, I know, but I am so PROUD of you for keeping your head above water. You’re doing amazing and I promise you- things will get better. Things will be different. This is a moment in time, but it isn’t forever. You are strong and wonderful and you yourself are a blessing just like your baby is. It’s okay to have needs outside of your child, everyone does. You deserve a warm cup of tea or cocoa or whatever you prefer, and some time to yourself to cry, process, whatever you need. You are doing amazing.

[@litledevel15]

You are going to be a great mother - normally the people whom are the most hard on themselves, are generally doing everything the best that they can and kicking ass. Speaking from someone that always brings myself down ; you are awesome!

No, this is good advice actually. Many people feel sorry for themselves and don't make the conscious effort to try and feel positive - almost a kind of stubbornness. Sounds simple but it really can be. Worked for me, but everyone is different.

[@suvanaa]

DLJ you sound rather uneducated and ignorant. How great that it worked for you, but postpartum depression can be very very serious, and women who are dealing with it should always seek help from a doctor. Psychotherapy/cognitive therapy is a very useful treatment for postpartum depression (and depression in general) but with the help of a professional!

[@summero.2377]

As a woman who suffered SEVERE postpartum depression with #1 that was a hair away from turning to full psychosis, I thank you for addressing this. I felt hopeless and suicidal and luckily I got help. It came back while pregnant with #2, and I was so bad I wanted to give my baby up for adoption because I was convinced she’d hate me and I was a horrible mother. My doctor caught it at 6 months and put me on medication immediately. I have a beautiful 15 year old daughter and 2 boys, age 19 and 8. I still struggle with depression on occasion but I deal with it and get treatment when I need it. Having a stable and loving husband has been my saving grace!!

The people to use the actual words ‘post partum depression’ is just so powerful. It’s so validating rather than to sugar coat it, it makes your feelings understood. It can be so isolating, recommending speaking to doctors and being so understanding is heartwarming, a lot of people brush it off as just typical struggling. People calling it what it is really removes the stigma, it can be such a struggle as a mother having a new baby and feeling like this. It’s beautiful to see people being so kind to a stranger

Well that’s her job. She helps others that have issues like depression, Bypolar, Schizophrenia, things like that. So she knows what it’s like to be different or not feel normal in some way. That has to be extremely hard. I definitely know what it’s like. I find it extremely hard to do daily life even do chores to help out my parents is extremely hard. Cleaning up my messes after I make myself a drink or food I have a really really hard time remembering to clean up afterwards. Because my brain goes onto 2-3 things at one time as soon as I get up from the table I totally forgot like that. Then I’m like « gotta feed the cats now, oh I gotta do this now? » and I’ll leave like 4 messes around the house and big ones too.

[@helianabanes4875]

Postpartum depression, anxiety, psychosis, I went through this, it was absolutely the most scary time in my life and I have had a hard life in a lot of ways. I didn't even have the logical thought process this woman is having. I felt at anytime I might take something sharp and jab it in my neck, just as a reflex to having it in my hands, I couldn't sleep, I only felt fear and apathy. I absolutely would not have survived it without medical/therapeutic intervention and I thank god that I had the support I needed to get the proper treatment. I have an extremely sensitive radar for other moms going through it.

[@j.d.contreras392]

Anxiety is very dangerous, even for men. There are so many doctors that don't even care but prescribe pills...that's the dangerous part. All these people want is someone to listen. It happens to men, children and women all the time. Then it becomes depression which is even worse. Doctors NEED to listen more carefully to their patients. You can't solve everything with pills. Sarah Haines went through all of that by herself and I adore her. She's now a full time host on The View and I admire her spirit. Depression and anxiety is NO JOKE. It can lead to serious mental problems and severe health issues. A hospital won't help, but a therapist or a great friend can. I love people who extend their kindness and love to anybody who needs it. It's not a quick fix...people just want to be heard and hugged. A hug or kiss goes a long way for many. I'm depressed with anxiety myself but the people who want to talk to me are the best people I've ever met. God Bless.

I love that more people online are talking about what being a mother is really like. That it isn’t always a magical, beautiful time for everyone.

[@audhdgamer]

Being a new mum is one of the most hardest things ever especially when you experience postpartum depression. The sleep deprivation Recovering from birth If you had stitches or a c-section The pain from your uterus contracting when you’re breastfeeding Breastfeeding problems like mastitis, engorgement, clogged ducts Feeling trapped because you’re at home all day and all night caring for the baby Lack of self-care which results in making you feel so much worse.

This is one of my major worries. I'm already diagnosed with high functioning depression and anxiety. Now that we're trying to conceive, it makes me dread to think that PPD has a high chance of really hitting me hard.

[@MrLeFluffy1]

Ik it's been a year since your comment, but I just wanna say to have some faith in yourself. As someone with depression and anxiety, you KNOW what they feel like. You've fought those demons before. If anything, you are probably more likely to notice symptoms of PPD and get help for them quicker than someone who has never dealt with them before, because you can not only recognize them, but you understand that it's not only something to be treated seriously, but that there's nothing wrong with doing things like talking to a therapist to help you through that time. You've mentioned you have a wonderful and supportive partner - so even a fear of not recognizing it in yourself can be soothed because if you tell your partner about your worries, they can be sure to watch for those symptoms too, and can step in and say, "hey, this is getting serious, let's get the help you need, and I'll be there every step of the way". The most important part of dealing with PPD is simply knowing what it is and how to recognize it and when it's time to get help, because not knowing that there's help for what you're going through makes you suffer with it alone. You know depression and anxiety, you know those thoughts, and you now know an example of what PPD can look like or feel like. If you have a baby and feel like you might have PPD afterwards, you can get help. You can recognize it and get the help you need. And that's the important part! All in all, you've got this. Whether you've had a baby since commenting, or you're expecting, or maybe it isn't the right time yet, just know that you're not alone in that, and you've got this!

[@fairlyregretful]

i see you, and i want you to know that this isn’t the end. if you do end up having PPD or PPA, i promise you that there are people out there like you and people out there who will help you. it might feel like a huge block, or like you’re failing, but this is by no means the end of the line. taking care of yourself is the best way to make sure you’re able to take care of your baby. be well, and take care.

[@kristenkaz3080]

If you haven’t already had children, have an open dialogue with your partner & your doctor. Hang tough momma. Motherhood is an emotional rocky road, but it’s worth it. Even when you have a teenager!! I promise!

This is true on some levels but when some people say that you just need to get over it and be happy from now on but that’s not how it works it’s hard to hear because it feels like they don’t care and your problems are and annoyance but you also need to want help at least a little to actually get help

[@lzunaby]

The funny thing is, Postpartum depression doesn’t look the same for everyone. I had it bad after I delivered my triplets. It didn’t help that I had NO help from family or husband. I was so depressed, but I always dressed up, and showed up. No one that I didn’t tell, could tell I had PPD. I looked right in public, but when I was alone, was when it was hell. When it comes to opening up to others (which is normally hard for me) ALL of a sudden EVERYONE becomes an expert at parenting and has all the answers to what I should and shouldn’t do. So, I am extremely happy to see WWYD create an entire episode for this issue that has always been a stigma. TBH, I got out of it on my own! God has been my source of strength and encouragement! They are turning 3 years old next month, I’m good and the triplets are super loved!

Sabrina Lenting Girl, it was all God! There was no medication, no mantra, no books, songs, advice, meditation, ritual... NOTHING that would give me joy like the strength of God! Life will happen, and it’s not always Good, but I know that God is real. When I was at my lowest, I called out for Him and He was there, and He rescued me and hasn’t left me. I have rough days and hard times but The joy of the Lord is my strength! Happiness is temporary accumulation of substance in good times. but true JOY and contentment’s From GOD! Gods Joy is a constant even when life is hard!
