I received help for my postpartum depression and anxiety. I was barley showering, only moving from the couch when my 3yr old and baby needed to be cared for. I stopped cooking, cleaning became overwhelming, I was irritated, frustrated and angry all the time. Little things would set me off into rage. I felt guilty and like a failure everyday. I knew something was wrong but admitting I needed help made me feel like I was failing and being judge bc I couldn’t handle my emotions and motherhood. I felt like I was failing my babies and my husband.

I did a 2 week day hospital program for pregnant and postpartum women. I learned coping skills, the importance of self care and that I’m not a failure and I’m not broken. I’m not 100% myself but I’m getting there one day at a time.
