So if you feel comfortable definitely share your story but if not you can also just hit yes or no I'm just curious of how many moms out there have experienced postpartum depression and anxiety rage or psychosis me personally I struggled a lot with postpartum anxiety and I still kind of do although it's so much better but I didn't even really realize that I was struggling with it at the time like in the newborn phase I thought that I was fine because I wasn't depressed I was like the happiest I've ever been in my whole life and the only thing that I really need to look for was you know postpartum depression it's the only thing that's really talked about which I'm very glad that it is but I don't think we talk about the other postpartum issues that mom's gonna have like anxiety or rage or psychosis I think that there still needs to be some more awareness about those so I'm just curious if you experienced any Any of them

Yes, I have experienced postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety. I have had postpartum rage for sure. All of the above, it took me a while to reach out for help just because I'm a younger mom and I didn't really know what to do, but they're all real things.

Definitely agree that being a younger mom makes it harder to reach out because I think that we feel like we're gonna be judged even more you know what I mean because it's like all your young mom and you're feeling all of these things and also

I don't think we're is educated on some of the things that can go on postpartum compared to like older women and stuff like that so yeah but I'm glad that you did reach out for help and it's totally fine

My anxiety stems from like I had my son in a really close age to my daughter I found out I was pregnant like at four months postpartum from having her so

My anxiety was from all of that how close they were going to be in age and how I was struggling because I was worried that I was going to fail or not and I'll be a good mom or anything like that because our babies are so close

And I was too scared to talk about it to my doctor, but honestly I talked to her about it and got back on medication that I was on. And it helped a lot. And now I don't have it anymore.

That is totally understandable I have like so much anxiety about getting pregnant again because I just really feel like I cannot handle that and of course you know you're always happy but at the same time

Yes, I've experienced PPPD and it's not easy. I took counseling and did some CBT courses that really helped so sending you love and all the support.

I did experience postpartum anxiety. I meant to select yes, accidentally selected no, but yes, little things like things like people picking up my daughter or me leaving my daughter with people or even thinking about her growing up in this crazy world.

I was definitely preparing to have PPD. I've struggled with clinical depression as well as anxiety disorder, PTSD and ADHD for my entire life and I've been in therapy and dealing with that for almost my entire life. So during my pregnancy I was super depressed for numerous reasons partly because I was pregnant during COVID, but I was prepping for PPD. I was very, very scared.
