Your responses reflect strong signs of postpartum depression, possibly including detachment, hopelessness, or fear that you’re failing as a parent. These thoughts are common—but they can feel terrifying.
It may be hard to function or even explain what you’re feeling. But the truth is: you are not alone, and help is available. Healing from PPD doesn’t require you to feel ready—it just requires that you know you’re worth helping.
You May Be Feeling:
Like you're not the parent you thought you’d be
Disconnected from your baby or even resentful at times
Constant guilt or fear that you’re not enough
Thoughts that things may never get better
Please Consider:
Talking to your doctor or midwife as soon as possible
Calling a postpartum mental health hotline or warmline
Asking someone you trust to help with daily care so you can rest
Letting others in—emotionally and physically
You deserve a life where you're not just surviving. You deserve peace.
