Her story is one of the many faces of postpartum depression.
Dear mothers, this phase shall pass.
When you feel burnt out, please rest. It’s not easy especially for those experiencing motherhood for the first time. Sometimes, it feels impossible to make wise decisions when we’re trapped in the bubble of negativity.
And often, it’s hard to truly see and feel the joy of our newborn’s presence, because in our exhaustion and pain, we become focused on our own struggles. That is okay. It doesn’t make you a bad mother, it makes you human.
To all who are in this phase. Remember to breathe. This too shall pass.
