“I think it’s different for everyone symptom-wise, but the main thing is knowing something is not right and that you feel like you need help, regardless of how minute or inconsequential. For a more specific example, I felt like a failure as a mother, and a wife. I felt like nothing I did was very good enough and that my kids were better off without me. I could barely keep up with housework or handle my little one starting to explore the environment. I would get overwhelmed very easily. I would get so frustrated with myself that I would get angry very easily. I would cry a lot, feel sad, overwhelmed, angry, and numb. Sleep was sporadic at best (which did not help). I sought therapy after a night of no sleep and my little one was up in the middle of the night again crying and was inconsolable. I remember my husband trying to soothe baby but was still crying for mama. I ran back into the room screaming, “Put the baby up for adoption, I can’t do this anymore.”<\/p>\n
“The look on my husband’s face said it all. I felt devastated and awful.\u00a0My baby at that time was a year old. I didn’t realize you could get postpartum that long after. But I was also trying to wean baby off breast, and unbeknownst to us pregnant, then shortly after miscarried so my hormones were a hot mess.” \u2014\u00a0RozaHathaway<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"16. “I think it’s different for everyone symptom-wise, but the main thing is knowing something is not right…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":650149,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[276],"tags":[2370,18,78819,135,19,17,167,502,964,2372,965],"class_list":["post-650148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mental-health","tag-bestofinternet-reddit","tag-eire","tag-first-person-narrative","tag-health","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mental-health","tag-mentalhealth","tag-timely","tag-topical","tag-womens-content"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117137198702698114","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650148\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
