🤍 To every new mother reading this:
If you have recently given birth and find yourself feeling persistently sad, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from your baby, unusually anxious, or unable to rest even when your baby is sleeping, please know this:
You are not broken.
You are not a bad mother.
You are experiencing a medical condition that many women face.
Postpartum depression affects approximately 1 in 5 mothers. It can occur due to the significant hormonal and emotional changes that follow childbirth. It is not a sign of weakness, failure, or a lack of love for your child.
And most importantly—it is treatable.
Asking for help is not something to be ashamed of. Speak to your doctor. Talk to your partner, a family member, or someone you trust.
You do not have to suffer in silence to prove that you are a good mother.
Seeking support is an act of strength, and one of the greatest gifts you can give both yourself and your baby.
