PPD?
I think I might be struggling with a mild form of ppd. I feel like I have lost a little bit of myself over the last few months and unfortunately it is the part that was quick to laughter and a smile. I notice my partner trying to make me smile and I honestly can’t manage it. I don’t necessarily feel sad but I don’t feel totally able to be happy. I kinda feel zapped of the energy or ability to laugh genuinely. I hate it. There are things I want to be happy and excited for but lately I think I’ve been saying “I’m so excited” and not actually feeling it.

Hey mama! I just want to let you know that you’re doing an amazing job and that you’re not alone. I’m dealing with Post Partum Rage. I don’t feel the rage towards my child thankfully I just get super mad over the littlest things. Some days are harder than others but things will get better and easier. 🫶🏽 You’ve got this mama! ❤️
Sounds like the postpartum blues! Not necessarily depression. I hope you can feel happy soon but also give yourself grace in this new chapter ♥️
