PPD is here.
Im not sure why I’m writing this. Maybe it’s just to rant because I have no one to talk to right now in my life about this. So i figured why not talk to you moms, maybe someone will relate, maybe someone will give words of encouragement or maybe someone will just read like it and move on. I just would love to feel seen😔. Postpartum is hitting me like a ton of bricks. This is my second child and I’m 3 months PP. I never experienced this with my first so this is uncharted waters for me and more days than not i feel like I’m drowning. I know this journey will end and that i just have to persevere until it does. But being a momma is the HARDEST thing I’ve ever done😅. Best thing I’ve ever done but it is indeed hard. I know it’s all worth it in the end and that I wont always feel this way. Today’s the first day I’ve cooked myself a meal, it’s a small feat but hey, gotta start somewhere. Much love to all you mommies you all deserve the world🫶🏾🤍

I only have one baby, she’s 4 months old tomorrow. PPD snuck up on me. I didn’t realize I had it until loved ones around me gently pointed it out. I don’t know exactly how you feel but I can say you’re not alone in this struggle. Reach out to your OB. Reach out to a hotline. I texted one and they helped me so much, they found resources for me to take advantage of and they listened. They made me feel okay with not being okay. You’re 100% right, being a mama is the hardest thing I’ve ever done too.
You are not alone. I had it with both of my children. Didn’t recognize it with my first until way later on but with my second I knew right away. Now I have a therapist and I’m getting the help I need. It’s also helps if you have a supportive spouse. My husband works and thinks that’s the only thing he has to do and is not supportive so things are really hard for me. I pray you have the support you need. You can always message me if you’re feeling a bit lonely 💖
