How to Care for a Newborn When Depression Keeps You in Bed?

Pregnancy is hard. Really hard actually. Your body and brain are constantly going through drastic changes. You literally become a jekyl and Hyde. And chances are, you will develop PPD. And that's ok. I had/have both too. You are definitely not alone. What I found helped me out was to listen to music that made me happy, do crafts for my house or for baby to keep my mind busy, talk with my SO about my feelings and get reassurance that I was still thought of as beautiful and loved and then I would look in the mirror and remind myself that it's only temporary. And that a new baby is worth the hell. And, that there could be so much more wrong with me and my life, that it's not fair for me to harp on the petty shit.
