PP depression
Show your support
I’m no means an expert but I had a bit of PP looking back on it now and get a bit of seasonal depression. While the weather was nice I made myself go out once a day, even for a walk but tried to plan a nice trip I wanted to do in the week. Chores took a big hit but it was worth it. My husband also signed me up to a nice gym and pool so I made myself go and once I was there I enjoyed it for a bit of me time which was soo helpful even if I only did 10 laps and sat in the sauna 🤣
I’m going through the same so I’m sorry to hear you are too. I’ve been trying to get out for walks every day or at least some air, solo or with the baby, they help but everything is still really hard and heavy. I’ve been in therapy but I’ve reached the point of trying meds again because simple things are just a real struggle. Not sure that helps but try to be patient with yourself. It’s so hard to feel this way so solidarity and I hope you feel better and find what helps you lift the fog. Hang in there mamma! ❤️
Be kind to yourself. I think most mums get it at least a little bit. Your whole world changes. I took some low dosage citalopram which the nurse gave me. Had it in the past before children too, needed it for a boost. Also, I found doing things I liked doing with baby so walking round the shops, grabbing a coffee...and treating myself to some nice things, even a new face cream. One day at a time
Meds and sleep
Honestly pills were the only thing to help me. I'm 7 months pp now and no longer need them
