@Bethany unfortunately i didn’t ever know, i went to the hospital many times for various things that weren’t real and they said i’d be better with rest. it took me trying to harm myself to get a diagnoses and care
My brother told me about this, during my first pregnancy. Worried I might be having some of it, but I didn't. But my 2nd pp, I had some struggles with rage and handling my cuddly toddler wanting me. I'll admit I was afraid to ask for help, for fear of being judged about losing it with my daughter. Next time I want to have a conversation with my ob about it, before I get post birth. Because I don't know what kind of experience I'll have.
@Bethany oh for sure!!! some people are just more susceptible to those kinds of things. it’s better to prepare than not know it exists even though it’s more rare than pp depression. it’s a hard journey but manageable over time <3
You should be proud of yourself the way you advocated for yourself. Glad you’re doing better and baby is good. You’re so strong and an amazing mom

How did you realize that it was not real and get help?
