So today I want to talk about a serious problem, especially among new mothers. I am talking about postpartum depression. Most women ignore this depression feeling as they think its something normal that you go through after having a child, and thats exactly what I thought it was, too. Granted, your hormones are trying to get to a level place but if this feeling carries on longer than two weeks there is a problem. I am one of those people who refuse to take medications and think that I can do without them. Well I was wrong. Due to my stubborness I went almost a year with depression and anxiety issues and had no clue what was wrong. Finally after two days of constant anxiety attacks I went to the doctor and was sent to a psychiatrist. If you have had or are having these types of symptoms, do not wait! These are not things that will go away with time. They will gradually get worse and then you will end up like me. I am posting this as I am not ashamed that I have this. I want people to see that it is okay to admit something is wrong and that there are ways to curb it. People think that having anxiety issues and depression issues are something to hide. You dont need to put on a perfect face and be fake. You need to admit the problem and take care of it. We constantly hear on TV about mothers who have killed their babies because of this. Im not going to say I am proud to admit that I have these issues, but I want people to recognize it and know that they are not alone. I will get off my soapbox now, but wanted people to realize that it is okay and things can get better. :)
