Recognising I need help

Took a big step today and filled out a self referral for perinatal mental health support as I think I’m going through PPD. Just wanted to write this somewhere because I don’t feel ready to let people know irl yet. Hugs to anyone else who might be going through a tough time, it’s really hard.

You got this mama. You’re doing the best for your baby by seeking help. It will get easier💕

Well done for talking the steps to get the help you need it’s not a easy thing to talk about but seeking help makes you an amazing mum

I had my assessment 2 weeks ago and scored 21 on the test 😩 I suffered really bad for the first 7 weeks and I’m just starting to get better now my baby is sleeping better through the night but she has tongue tie which causes bad wind and pain in her stomach from how she drinks her milk and it was just a struggle.

Thats amazing that you took that step to get help, we all need help sometimes and especially after having a baby! I am a firsttime mum and struggle with anxiety very badly especially in evenings and nights and self referred to get help now waiting for group therapy sessions online! I hope you get the help you need you are doing the best you can I am sure! xxx

Feeling this and been thinking about self referring too ❤️

With you

Well done for getting help! I know how hard that is. I've started seeing someone for anxiety. I hope you get the support you need and feel better soon 💜

Well done for seeking help. I’m a big advocate for therapy, it’s always best to let it all out then bottle inside. You got this xx
