MOTHERHOOD on BLURT | Motherhood Insanity Is Real

I heard of post partum depression, not just once but a hundred of times. I heard of friends who went through this stage and I only understood what they felt when I have birth to my first born.

After giving birth, I shut myself away from the people around me. I gave birth on July 2020 and due to the pandemic, my family can't come to the city so it was just me and my husband.

I can't believe that I would cry without any reason. I tend to become moody too when my husband don't do certain things. My mind has been thinking of several things to do but I get frustrated knowing I won't be able to do it primarily because my baby demands my attention all the time.

In addition to that, I was disappointed with myself for not having milk on the first four days of Matti's life outside the womb.

And not to mention the different bad things running in ny head, the baby seems not breathing, I have to run to the comfort room and would run back to the baby because I would feel like something or someone might steal my baby. There are so many other things similar to that which I didn't know where it come from.

After opening up to my mom, my friends, I realized I am not alone. They too had experienced these things. One of my friends reminded me to keep talking about these things for my mental health.

So post partum depression is real and the best way of dealing with it is to share, to open up to your family and friends. Most of all, pray for guidance and strength to overcome this stage.
