It’s common to experience a rollercoaster of emotions in the first few weeks and months. If you’re noticing that you are irritable, angry, or sad most of the time, you may be experiencing postpartum depression. For some moms, postpartum depression can show up as intense moments of anger, or postpartum rage. If this sounds like you, you don’t have to suffer alone. Help that really works is available.
Signs of Postpartum Depression
.You are crying a lot.
You think you are experiencing postpartum something, maybe postpartum depression.
It’s hard to feel connected to your baby.
You really are not sleeping.
You are completely exhausted.
You feel guilty, ashamed, or hopeless.
You seriously doubt you’re a good mother.
Things you normally enjoy are not as fun anymore.
Having a new baby can make you feel like you’re just not good enough.
Postpartum depression therapy in Miami, FL helps you put that “not good enough” feeling in its place so you can get back to yourself as you navigate this new chapter.
You just don’t feel like yourself and you don’t understand why.
In the first few weeks after having a baby, postpartum blues or “baby blues” can happen. Most moms who have just had a baby experience baby blues.
With baby blues, you can find yourself experiencing A LOT of intense, different emotions over the first few weeks after your baby’s arrival. You can be weepy, quick to irritability and anger (especially with others), feel a bit unsettled in general, and also feel quite happy.
With baby blues there are both positive and negative moments, however there tend to be more positive than negative moments overall.
Feeling like you’re not good enough.
When imbalance happens and there are more negative than positive moments, it can be a sign of postpartum depression. You may just feel angry or sad with life and not really understand what’s behind it. Being with your baby and feeding your baby is overwhelming and you feel guilt and shame for just wanting a break from it all. You may question whether your baby will like you. The depression tells you that you are not a “good” or “natural” mother. It feels like those natural mom instincts that everyone talks about just don’t exist for you and this makes the shame of not being a “good” mother grow bigger.
You may feel conflicted, like you can’t understand why you’re feeling so down. Maybe you feel like you have many reasons to be happy and it confuses and upsets you that you’re not. Maybe you’ve wanted a baby for a long time or tried so hard to have one and now that you have one, you feel like you should be much happier. But, you just aren’t and it convinces you that something is wrong with you.

Postpartum Depression Therapy To Begin Healing Today
Maybe you wonder if you’re experiencing postpartum depression but your mind tells you that you will shake it off, that you will snap out of it soon enough. It’s hard to admit to yourself, let alone another person, that you wonder if you are experiencing postpartum depression. After all, society tells you this is supposed to be one of the happiest times of your life, right?
All those societal messages are wrong. This isn’t the reality. Postpartum depression is extremely common and doesn’t mean anything at all about the kind of mother or person you are.
Your mind and body are just having a harder time resetting after all the change that comes with pregnancy, childbirth, and having a new baby.
Unfortunately, you can’t just shake off postpartum depression. Just like if you hurt your arm and needed to go to the doctor to get a cast so your arm could heal properly, your brain is a body part that also needs the right care to heal. If you don’t go to the doctor, your arm could get much worse and more painful. In the same way, without going to a postpartum therapist for postpartum depression therapy, the postpartum depression can get much worse, likely causing even more problems along the way.
