Are you struggling with the effects of postpartum depression?
Right now, you may be experiencing:
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness after having a baby
- Overwhelming fatigue beyond normal new parent exhaustion
- Difficulty bonding with your baby or feelings of detachment
- Excessive worry about your baby’s wellbeing or your parenting abilities
- Loss of interest in activities you previously enjoyed
- Changes in appetite or sleep beyond typical postpartum adjustments
- Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby in severe cases
You've started to recognize how postpartum depression is impacting your life:
- The experience of new parenthood is vastly different from what you expected
- Your relationship with your partner is strained by your emotional state
- You feel guilty for not experiencing the joy you believe you “should” feel
- Daily tasks feel overwhelming and insurmountable
- You may be isolating yourself from friends and family
- You question your ability to be a good parent
- You wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again
You’re wondering…
- Is this just “baby blues,” or is it something more serious?
- Why am I experiencing depression when this should be a happy time?
- Will these feelings go away on their own, or do I need professional help?
- How can I care for my baby when I can barely care for myself?
- Will medication affect my ability to breastfeed if that’s my choice?
- Am I a bad parent for feeling this way?
- How do other new parents cope with these feelings?
You’re longing for…
- The ability to enjoy this time with your new baby.
- Energy and motivation to engage in daily activities.
- Confidence in your parenting abilities.
- Emotional connection with your baby and partner.
- Relief from the persistent dark cloud of depression.
- Understanding and support without judgment.
