One day when my son was a couple of months old, I walked into my bedroom, in tears, and told my husband that I didn't feel safe taking care of Gus. I wasn't sure exactly what I was feeling but I knew that I felt a gray cloud over what should have been a feeling of unconditional love.
I was surrounded by loved ones yet completely alone.
Anything from anxiety to exhaustion can bring on emotions associated with post partum depression. Finding support is so important and I have been happy to pass on what I learned through my experience to the many emtionally drained moms I work with everyday.
