Question for moms...

How did you feel (emotionally) after giving birth? Did you have the baby blues? Or maybe it turned into PPD or PPA? How'd you get through it? Was your partner helpful, how? Did you have a good support system? I hope I dont bring up any negative memories or anything, I just would appreciate some advice or something. I dont know. This shit sucks. I have an appointment set up but for some reason I'm terrified and have so much anxiety. I'd rather cancel and try to move on, honestly.
Please don't leave any rude comments, I've beaten myself up enough already, I dont need anyone else adding to it

I did get postpartum depression. I did not have a supportive partner or a support system and I think if I had had either of those I would have gotten through it a lot easier. I did speak the help of professionals and I was able to overcome and get through it.

I just want to add that they really can help you. You aren't alone in this, it's okay to feel anxious but you are going to be okay. Take that step, get the help ((hugs))
