Postpartum depression can look different from person to person. It's not always crying excessively or not being able to get out of bed. Sometimes it looks like regretting having a baby, sometimes it looks like anger or rage that's uncontrollable. Sometimes you feel like you're not bonding with your baby or maybe you're so anxious that you can't sleep. Ppd is treatable. It is not a character flaw. It is a mental health condition and there is help.

This post is not a replacement for therapy, but it can be a helpful tool in changing your perspective and beginning your journey to healing.

Mama, if you've been experiencing postpartum depression and haven't been able to enjoy any of the things that you used to enjoy since having a baby, you're not alone. In fact, that's one of the major signs of depression is not enjoying things that used to bring you Joy.

Postpartum depression can look different from person to person, sometimes it looks like crying all the time. Sometimes it looks like masking and acting like everything's fine to the outside world. When the reality is you feel like you're failing everyday and you wonder if it was a good choice to have a baby or not.

If any of these might sound like your experience of postpartum or pregnancy, don't hesitate to reach out. I specialize in perinatal mental health and I love working with Mamas.

Mama, if this message resonated with you, you have found the right place. I talk all about how expressing our needs to our partners is imperative to reduce resentment, reduce anger, and reduce rage.

This is one of the biggest issues I find in the work I do with Mom's postpartum and it can be one of the hardest issues to address. There's not a one size fits all that works for everyone. In fact, there's a lot of dynamics and variables that make it a delicate conversation and ongoing need for adjustment.

Relationships are hard. Postpartum is hard. The combination can be cruel.

Mother's Day can bring lots of sweet things and it can also be an opportunity for resentment to grow if we don't ask for what we need. If this season is a time where you need a couple hours of sleep or alone time that's perfectly okay but you have to be specific and tell your partner what you need from them!

Motherhood is beautiful and wonderful and hard and amazing all at the same time. It's okay to ask for a break or to be taken care of for the day!

Be kind to yourself mama you are doing a lot better than you think you are!
