Thank you @livvcopelandd for sharing so that other moms having a similar experience might feel less alone. If you're experiencing possible symptoms of postpartum depression (PPD) or postpartum anxiety (PPA), know it is not your fault. It doesn’t make you a bad person or a bad mother.

If you think you have signs or symptoms of PPD or PPA, call your health care provider right away. There are things you and your provider can do to help you feel better. If you’re worried about hurting yourself or your baby, call emergency services at 911.

Join us this Mental Health Awareness Month in raising awareness for the mental health challenges so many face—especially during pregnancy and the postpartum period. When left untreated, these disorders can have serious medical, societal, and economic consequences.

Join us, @mtv, and more than 1,400 nonprofits, brands, government agencies, and influential leaders in shifting our #mentalhealth culture from awareness to action on #MentalHealthActionDay, May 15. 🧠💜
