‼️Heading into Mother’s Day weekend I have to share.‼️ I didn’t know it at the time, I don’t know if it was just denial or plain exhaustion. I was feeling alone, depressed, like my life was “over” and felt like no one around me truly knew what I was experiencing. I hid it well. No one could really tell except my mom, who knows me better than anyone. I was definitely experiencing my own version of postpartum depression. I’m so happy to be teaming up with @momgenesfightppd to being more awareness to PPD. . FACT:: 1 in 7 moms suffer from postpartum depression. . FACT:: Postpartum depression leaves moms feeling broken, isolated, and detached during what should be a time of joy and bonding with their baby. . FACT:: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects millions of women every day. . But there’s hope, and you can help! Researchers at the University of North Carolina are studying mom genes (aka your DNA) to find a connection to the disease which could lead us to a cure. If you are in the United States and have experienced PPD, put your #momgenes to work by visiting www.momgenesfightppd.org to download the app and join the study. #postpartumdepression #ppdawareness
