@lottiedrynan: “what’s the bravest thing you’ve ever said?” asked the boy. “Help” said the horse. “Asking for help isn’t giving up, it’s refusing to give up.” - Charlie Mackesy This is the most vulnerable thing I’ve ever shared in my six years of being online but for the person who needs to see this; I hope this gives you hope. For the parent who’s feeling shame for not feeling how you imagined it would feel, I hope this helps you feel seen. And I promise, once that darkness lifts, even the littlest, most mundane moments can feel euphoric. You’ll feel like you’re doing everything for the first time, seeing everything for the first time and you’ll wonder whether this is how it was meant to be all along, or whether what you went through is what’s made it even more beautiful. I’ve tagged some incredible people, authors, podcasts and charities who gave me hope along my journey 🙏🏼 #postpartum #postpartumdepression #postpartumanxiety #birthtrauma #newmum #newparent #newparents #motherhood #worldmentalhealthday
