PPD

I am curious to listen to people with PPD. how were you convinced to get help and get diagnosed? what is your advice to a partner of PPD to approach them to get therapy (solo and marital)? is lying part of the pathology? do PPD lie on purpose? or do they have distorted perception of reality? #PPD #ParanoidPersonalityDisorder #Paranoid

Introvert’s do not like small talk, need to recharge after spending time with people, and absolutely, hates being asked, “why are you so quiet?”

#PPD

I lost my mom and dad because of my attitude. I've always felt like everybody hates me when they are not talking to me so at first I thought I just need attention. I thought I just needed reassurance. Yesterday, I realized that I've been battling this anxiety since 1st grade. I always feel like everyone judges me in their heads. I tortured myself because I felt the need to because I always feel that I cause problems to everyone. I want to be free but I don't know how. I feel like crying as I am typing this. Please help me.

Autism parents and the quarantine// anyone else struggling?

I have a 5 year old in the spectrum. His routine has been greatly disrupted between school being cancelled (until most likely next year), his usual favourite places not being an option and activities being cancelled. Meltdowns are so much more frequent and I’m really finding it hard to get through a “normal” day. I have other children (1 and 3) who I am trying to parent as well and just feeling all around guilty not having the usual patience and time for them all that I normally do.

I am so exhausted. My husbands job is considered essential so it’s just me. I realize all of these changes are necessary but I’m just needing to rant I guess. My anxiety is through the roof and mom guilt is out of control.
Does anyone else feel the same right now? #Anxiety #Autism #autismparent #PPD #tired #Guilt

I am a mother of a handsome 2 year old little boy, I went through ppd when he was first born on through his first year and a half of his life.

one reason it was hard to get out and do things with my little guy was the fear of being "mom shamed"

I'd like to have a quick rant and maybe a discussion about this.

I dont understand why people on the internet or in person need to shame moms we are all doing the best we can. we should all be empowering and trying to help eachother, instead I have seen people receiving death threats over things that in my opinion are ridiculous to threaten about.

if you dont like what you see online keep scrolling. if you see a mom tying to calm their child down in the walmart isle because they are throwing a tantrum give them a reassuring smile as if to say I get you. its it's ok.

please everyone can we please start empowering eachother instead of tearing others down. If there are other mothers reading this I get some of what your going through I hope you know you are not alone and keep up the great work your babies and children love you for yoyou.

rant over.

Postpartum Depression Destroyed Me #PostpartumDepression

I'm so glad that as a society, we're starting to talk about postpartum mental health more, but we still have SO FAR to go. So many people aren't even aware that there are a whole list of postpartum mood disorders besides postpartum depression!

We have to talk about this. We HAVE to share our stories. PPD came into my life and destroyed it, and I had to crawl out and find myself all over again. I'm grateful I was able to find support and help, but so many don't.

If you're struggling, please get help. Don't let yourself believe you're the only one struggling. PPD might destroy you, and you'll need a support team to find yourself again.
