Postpartum depression?
Does anyone else feel like they’ve got PPD, but it only recently hit? I don’t know if it’s the lack of sleep, or feeling a lack of support from my partner, but lately I just feel so flat. Normally Christmas is my favourite but I could happily skip it this year. I don’t find myself taking joy in things as much anymore, I just feel like I want to zone out on my phone all the time. I’ve been depressed before but that always felt more like sadness and suicidal thoughts, which I’m not having this time. I just feel so off and don’t know what to do! Anyone else?
Definitely reach out for help. There are some amazing therapists out there, that can get you feeling like you are back on track, it is so common to feel like this after having a baby and people dont talk about it enough, you don't have to battle it alone 💕. Also...it can sometimes take years for hormones to rebalance after having a baby, my PMS is worse than ever!! I am going to look in to holistic ways of rebalancing mine. For Christmas, start off with small steps for things you enjoy, and create a new kind of Christmas as things have changed so so much! For me I am going to put up far less decs, but some will still go up this weekend, and I am going to watch a Christmas film when baby is in bed. Xxx
