@mummysmindbox: I don't think I ever told anyone this when my babies were little. I was so ashamed of some of the things I felt when I was struggling with postnatal depression. I thought other mums must be enjoying motherhood so much more than I was, because nobody ever seemed to talk about feeling like this. And I was terrified of what people would think if I admitted it. Looking back, I wish I'd been kinder to myself. I was completely overwhelmed and struggling with my mental health, but I just kept blaming myself for not coping better. I'm sharing this because I know there will be another mum out there who feels exactly how I did, but maybe isn't ready to say it out loud 🩷 Did anyone else ever dread the end of nap time? #postnataldepression #postnatalanxiety #postpartummentalhealth #mumguilt #newmum
