It’s been a while! Just wanted to write an update on how things are going at the moment. I’m happy to say that overall I am feeling better than I have in a long time. A few weeks ago we upped the dose of my medication and I could feel a difference straight away. What a relief! The medication doesn’t make me feel “happy all the time”...I now feel like I am starting the day at a neutral level rather than empty and depleted if that makes sense. The postpartum mental health support group I created on Instagram is going really well. It’s been so good for me to have a project to work on, something I am passionate about. It’s also been so lovely to hear positive feedback from members of the group 🥰 Last week I had my first big dip since being on the up. When it was announced that we were going back into lockdown I was very triggered. All the feelings from last year came flooding back and I was a mess. I met with my psychologist and she was able to calm me down and help me see that...
Becoming a mother turned my whole world upside down. It’s the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me.
