Dear let me know how u hv overcome with this as m also feeling the same n m also a mother of 1 yr old baby boy

The Key to Change is

a) Wake up early in the morning no matter how tired you are. Get some fresh air / cold face wash and drink some warm water.

b) Now take some time for yourself to think what is that you are gonna do TODAY purposefully. Think about what you like, what is that you want to achieve and plan accordingly. Note it down and just focus the whole day on that purpose.

c) You can do some yoga or exercise. It helps you focus, stop worrying, control your emotions and anger.

d) Train your mind to think about Today and stop forecasting or worrying about future. Future is safe and believe that.

e) Keep reminding yourself that you are a mom who is learning and some errors/ mistakes in the learning process is common.

f) If there is someone to take care of your child for a while, get some really deep sleep in the middle of the day for 2-3 hours. That will help you energize and give you the much needed break in a day.

hi,am suffering from lot of depression,anxiety,fear of silly things.i am getting tensed for simple things.i can't control my anger.am making myself to get diverted but still I can't change myself.most of the times I feel I have lost myself

same here dear... feeling depressed I stay with old parents and my baby. my baby is always with me. I get tired but my parents r not able to help much. my hubby is out of India for his job so I'm literally not even going out of the house. But I'm really trying to keep myself busy but its not easy negative thoughts come to my head. I get frustrated when my baby is cranky but my mom comes and talks to me to calm me down

hello dear it's very sad that your family members think like this.
baby requires the company of mother at this stage for most of the time.
Try to explain your family that holding the baby against mother's shoulder helps mother in more milk production if bf
Don't get depressed as baby is not going to develop a memory of anything for now.
Breast feeding is very important till 6 months for baby's proper growth and immunity that develops for life time

think positive...make a time n take ur child outside daily for half an hour like park r somewhere....house hold work is never ending once ur back from work....1st spend some time n then start ur other works

I gave birth to a beautiful girl baby on August 2017 and trust me ladies, it took me a whole year to overcome PPD. I did consult a gynaecologist when my daughter was 8 months old and shared with her about the uncontrollable fear of danger, the worrisome thoughts about my child and life altogether, the loneliness I suffered in spite of having 3-4 people to help me run my new life, the anger on everyone around, the depression within that how bad a person I m, that no where I am never ideal and I wanted to give up on everything. Everything. I literally cried during the consultation and felt ashamed too. I didn't take any medicines out of fear as I was breastfeeding.

Now that I have told what all I went through, I wanted to let you ladies know that there is only two important things that will help you overcome this.

a) To acknowledge that you have a PPD and talk about it LOUD
b) To tell yourself that you aren't the only one and TAKE conscious steps to get out of it.

The moment I acknowledged and consciously made an effort to live every day with a defined purpose, I totally forgot about all these haunting thoughts and activities. Now I look back and I don't feel bad. I am glad I made an effort. They are many who still stay silent and suffer. But actually you needn't. It's COMMON. You will love yourself for overcoming this phase.

I worry about my pergenceny after one year baby is it ok to get second pergenceny for one year .i don't know systems like pergenceny

Ekta Naik Mom of 3 children 7 years ago

it is the thing witch every new mom faces after delivery ...even i feel d same...i was too depressed even crying for no reason....i feel ths all bcoz of body changes that we go through during labour and sudden change in life makes us depressed more .another reason for ths change is hormonal..in ths situation only ur husband can help u to come out of by be with u and helping in breastfeeding and baby care rather than always making a noise....it goes by 2-3 months but sometimes it last longer...i feel depressed even today but u can make time for yourself by doing yoga or gym ,doing things witch u like rather than being pressurised by inlwas thinking and get back to work pressure.
