Pandas Foundation (Pre And PostNatal Depression Advice and Support) 💛
Things we often hear from parents include:
“I feel guilty for not enjoying this.”
“I don’t recognise myself anymore.”
“I love my baby but I feel empty.”
“I’m scared to say this out loud.”
These words are more common than people realise and every single one deserves compassion, not shame. If you’ve thought these things, you are not alone and help is available.
You could start by downloading our mood tracker which was designed for anyone before, during or after having a baby to track their mood, particularly if they are aware of changes. Or if you'd like more help then you can access one of our free support services.
A link to our mood tracker and a full list of our support services can be found by using the links in the first comment below.
