Postpartum Mental Health

Motherhood should be the happiest time in your life.

Having children is what you’ve always wanted.

This is the life you dreamed of having – a loving husband, the ability to devote yourself to motherhood and spend time nurturing your baby.

And now, you’ve finally reached your goal.

But something is wrong.

You feel empty, sad, and exhausted.

Anxiety and constant worry are crippling you.

This is not how it was supposed to be.

Things have been harder than you ever expected.

The continuous pile of laundry, endless mountain of dirty diapers, sleepless nights – it’s all so overwhelming.

Tasks that used to be easy now require a significant effort.

Everything has become a struggle.

It feels like you’re all alone.

Friends and family try to offer support, but it’s no use.

It’s like no one understands what you are going through.

So, you put on a smile and say that you’re okay because it’s easier this way.

But inside, you are hurting.

“Maybe there is something wrong with me.”

A little voice in your head is telling you that you’re inadequate.

And that you’ll never be good enough for your baby, your husband, or anyone.

Your dream is becoming a nightmare.

You don’t even recognize yourself anymore.

It’s difficult to remember the last time you felt like the strong, independent person you were before.

You swing between wanting to cry or lash out at people these days.

Every minor hiccup seems to send you into a downward spiral, and you don’t know how to stop before you hit bottom.

You feel out of control.

But things can be better.

You can wake up in the morning and feel calm – like no matter what the day throws at you, you can handle it. The voice in your head says, “It’s going to be a good day – I got this!”

Moving through the day, you appreciate all the tiny moments of happiness that life with a baby brings. You go outside, connect with your friends, and do the chores. You finally get the sense of accomplishment.

Best of all, you even get a chance to enjoy embracing your partner when they arrive home.

Now, you sigh with relief at the end of the day, knowing that you feel like yourself again. You feel satisfied, knowing that you’ve taken back control of your life.

Let’s make your dream a reality. Together.
