Bored mama here, just got my baby to sleep and was unwinding playing on this app and I came across this section.

Reading a lot of these threads made my heart ache, because a lot of it I went through/ still some days go through.

First, take care of yourself. Your mental health is so important. A healthy mom means a healthy baby.

Don't be afraid to seek help, I was afraid of PPD and when I finally admitted it to myself and told myself it's ok, I contacted my doctor right away and they got me on a fast track to getting better. Best thing I ever did for myself and my family.

It's okay to not be okay. It's okay to cry. You are not failing! Not bad mothers... keep in mind even though we are mothers we are still humans.. we get weak, we get exhausted, we have selfish moments, we have regrets.. we are caring for little humans, but we also need to care for ourselves and talking to somebody is the first step along with talking to your doctor.

Remember mamas. You are not alone. Your a rockstar! And everything will be okay, just don't be ashamed to ask for help and talk about what you are going through
