I couldn't imagine battling post partum depression. im praying for anyone who is.. I had baby blues for a few days about a week after birth and was terrified I'd feel like that forever. I couldn't imagine the weighing pains of depression. anyone who hasn't been through it doesn't really understand it and I know it's terrible.
I thought I just had baby blues and everyone kept telling me that I had it but I felt like if I said I had it , it would be more real and then I would have to deal with it I just got on meds and now I feel so much better , I feel like I'm a better mother now and I can actually get out of the house me & my son go on walks now and I'm actually joyful about starting the day .
PPD is a very hard thing to deal with. My daughter is 6 months old and I'm still dealing with it. Although it may be more of regular depression rather than PPD at this point. Meds and counseling really help but when you don't have support from your SO or family close by it is a real struggle. I struggle daily and the only thing that truly keeps me going is my daughter. I'd be lost without her n
