I just want to take a moment and tell everyone whats on my mind this morning: Post-partum depression is common, and I wish no woman would struggle through this alone. Even just the baby blues - I believe it affects the majority. In 2013, a total of three caring and intuitive new dads emailed me for help, sensing wife/mom was really struggling. When your entire lifestyle, career, marriage, eating/sleeping patterns and physical body all change dramatically at one time, it feels irreversible. It feels permanent. Its hard to see easier days lie ahead - days when you will have your life back, your body strong, your routine predictable. This sense of overwhelm or depression is usually a very normal, if not healthy, response to feeling these changes on an emotional level. Please dont sit in isolation through this transition period in your life. Reach out to someone - you can always reach out to me -- and if you want, I can refer you to a really lovely therapist who is currently helping a couple other women, with very positive feedback already. I am convinced connection is the key for new moms, be it social or professional. Please, connect and keep connecting. If you dont know where to begin, you are welcome to start here with me.
