PPD/PPA
My DD turns 11 months here in a couple of days. I was wondering if any of you moms are still struggling with PPD/PPA? How do you cope? Mine doesn’t act up every day, but some days I get strong waves of it and I’m really struggling today. I had someone who I haven’t spoken to in four years call me out by name on her Snapchat story calling me fat and telling me that I needed to lose the baby weight because it’s been long enough. It came out of no where and triggered all sorts of negative feelings. I had an emergency c-section, I wasn’t released until 16 weeks PP to do any sort of physical activity because I pulled my abdominal muscles when I got home from the hospital, I recently found out I have a thyroid issue, and I’m on Zoloft. So pretty much I have a bunch of things stacked against me in the weight department. And now I’m back to resenting my body because maybe things would be different had I been able to have had a natural birth. I try not to let other people’s opinions get the best of me, but today I’m just having a really hard time and I’m struggling with finding healthy coping mechanisms.
