She shared some of the advice via the images above and continued, ” I had what i like to call “The worst kind of Postpartum depression” after my first child, it lasted for more than a year. I thought I’ll never fully recover, be happy or get my self back again, i was in a very dark place at a point in my life that was supposed to be the happiest.
Some days I’ll go into the restroom and cry out, once I’m done ill feel relieved, wipe my face and continue what I was doing like nothing happened. There was no particular reason for the cry, it just comes like a rushing wave, fills up my chest and I’ll run to let it out.
I didn’t know there was a name to what I was going through because back then in Nigeria, the idea of PPD/PND was almost Non-existent. I never told anyone for the fear of being judged or people close to me making assumptions about my sanity. Probably why my PPD lasted that long.
I can’t imagine how i would have survived that now. 🤦🏽♀️ Going through all that transformation & mental break down in the middle of a Global pandemic? 😢 #swipe >>> ● ● ● If you’re a partner / spouse to a new mom or you’re a dad to be, pls educate yourself about; Baby blues Postpartum depression & Postpartum psychosis.
