Postpartum depression is a liar.
It will tell you that you’re a failure.
It will tell you that you’ll just keep messing up.
It will tell you you’re not a good mom.
It will hold on tight to you with guilt and shame, whispering that you’ve made a mistake.
None of those things are true.
You are a good mom. You didn’t make a mistake. You aren’t a failure. You just support and care and treatment, so that you can see through the lies and feel better again.
