Just to Start
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog! If you are here just to read my story, I hope it helps explain a ton about me lately and some of the things I have been going through as a new mom. If you are here because you are battling with PPD or PPA also, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I would love to get to know other mother’s who are going through similar struggles.
Everyone talks about how amazing being a mother is, yet no one is willing to talk about the mental and emotional struggles that come with motherhood. I know I have had a hard time believing that I am not alone battling with these feelings. That it isn’t uncommon to feel this way. So I am here to write my truth about my journey with PPD and PPA. I really hope that I can help some other mother that is feeling terrible about herself, find that little bit of hope just knowing that someone isn’t getting paid to tell her she isn’t crazy. That these feeling of frustration, anger, scare, and being overwhelmed isn’t just something you and only you are going through. There are more of us out there!
