For any new mama’s on here experiencing post partum depression. Please don’t hesitate to seek out help! Taking care of a newborn is hard work and when you add in the extreme hormone fall out that our bodies go through it is a miracle that we all manage what we do.
I had PPD after my twins were born, very severe mood swings, bursts of crying, feeling lost and helpless. I just want you other mama’s to know you aren’t alone! Your SO may not get it and likely won’t be sensitive to what is happening to you so it will be up to you to get help.
I turned to vitamins (I wasn’t breastfeeding) and I began a regiment of liquid magnesium (tastes horrible), B complex, B 12 chewable, and women’s ultra mega for metabolism and energy. This drastically changed my life and turned a downward spiral around. I had previous issues with anxiety and depression and was able to recognize what was going on before things go way out of hand.
Consult with your primary care doctor for help and stay safe and happy mama’s!
