PPD and struggling

5 months postpartum and been hit with PPD and anxiety. Really struggling and under the perinatal mental health team already on meds and get daily check ins by a nurse. I am not sure what the point of this post is but just want to know if there is any light at the end of the tunnel as I just can't see a way right now to stop feeling low like this. Really struggling and extremely tired.

Hi mumma 👋🏼 firstly I just want to say you’re not alone, hundreds of mums feel this way and get PPD and PPA, and it’s nothing to feel ashamed of. I suffered really badly with PPD when my daughter was born (19 months ago) I was referred into a mother and baby unit and then was referred to the perinatal team and they were amazing! It does get easier, I promise you. It may take some time, but you will get there .. I promise you these feelings won’t last forever. I still get bad days, but compared to the dark place I was in before, the bad days are nowhere near as bad. Give yourself time to heal and don’t put pressure on yourself to get better quickly, these things take time. But you will get better, and these dark days will get better. I wish you all the best mumma, just remember you’re loved, and you’re doing the most amazing job … don’t be hard on yourself ❤️

Thank you, @Robyn

I’m so sorry you're feeling this way, but I want you to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if it’s hard to see right now. Recovery can take time, but you’re already taking the right steps by getting help and being on meds. Lean on your support team and take things one day at a time. It will get better, and you won’t feel like this forever. You're stronger than you realize, even when you're exhausted. If you need to chat more I created a Discord for pp moms.
