Motherhood is by far one of the biggest transitions that you will go through in your life, and while the experience brings forth many beautiful moments and joy, those moments can also be physically, mentally and emotionally draining all at the same time.

Postpartum Depression and Anxiety can feel very heavy. You may feel irritable, sad, down and overwhelmed. You may also feel extreme, unexplainable anxiety that is intense. It can often feel paralyzing and can come on very quickly. Many moms do not understand why they are experiencing these symptoms and want to feel better. Many times it is not something that you can do on your own, which is why it is important to seek help.

Sometimes these symptoms can feel very isolating because many moms tend to only share the “good” parts of motherhood and refrain from sharing the challenging and emotionally draining parts of it. When this happens, it becomes hard to relate to that “perfect scenario”, which leads to further shame and self doubt.

Many moms will conceal how they are feeling in fear of judgement or shame or guilt.

Many women can find motherhood difficult to navigate, and are often expected to “find their way” and return back to “normal” as soon as possible. It is OK to admit that you are having a difficult time with it all. You may also feel added pressure from yourself to be the “ perfect mom”, which can make you feel even worse.

It is important to seek help for the way you are feeling.
