One of the biggest issues I faced during my PPD was isolation. I felt so alone. I was embarrassed by the feelings I was having and the thought never crossed my mind that other new moms could be feeling the same way. I joined a support group and learned very quickly that my feelings were all a part the whole “Postpartum Depression” experience.
I encourage you to connect with other women who have PPD. There are some many options for support…..blogs, support groups (in person of online), phone support. Pick one that feels right to you and reach out. For a list of support people in your state visit Postpartum Support International at www.postpartum.net.
