Recovering from PPD & a partner with continuing anxiety - we constantly remind ourselves when we make eye contact with our kid to âbe presentâ. (We donât feel like we have a lot of support outside of each other so we donât have the âluxuryâ of things like grandma has a sleepover once in a while. Those events actually usually create more stress than relief.)

10:08 "Talk with your doctor before giving birth" I feel like the world would be a much less conflict-filled place if all parents thought carefully and spoke with a health care professional before giving birth. It's a nice idea though

My sisters husband went through this with his first wife when they had their first child, post partum depression. She was unable to take care of the baby or herself and couldnât be left alone with the baby. He basically became a single father taking care of a newborn and his wife while also working. «Luckily» he ran his own business and was thus able to mostly work from home. But it was a horrible time. A time where everyone is excited for you and is congratulating you and expecting you to be super happy. While at the same time father is burning out and wife is nearly suicidal with a little baby thrown in đ They got through it but waited 6 years before having a second child. It was so traumatic. Luckily they had a solid support network of friends, neighbours and family that would try their best to help out, bring food, clean up and babysit. A close network is soooo important and going to therapy. It went ok with their second child, though they divorced two years later for other reasons. Luckily with all the hard work by everyone (therapists, neighbours,friends, family and themselves), ex wife and kids ended up well. But it required HARD work!

A few years ago I worked in a nursery. The kids I was looking after ranged in age, but this day I was looking after kids between 3 and 4. There was a little girl, Olive, who had started that day and was very shy. She didn't join in with the other kids was kind of just sat on the steps warily. A little boy called Flynn noticed, and I watched them from afar as he looked at her, looked at his friends playing behind, and went over to her. He sat down next to her, and he started singing songs to her. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen, and from that day on they were friends. I could cry, it was adorable the way he saw she was on her own and went to cheer her up

I had my first child in 2020 early in my pregnancy I was making plans with my mom and mother in law to come to my house and help. By the time my baby was born we were in full pandemic and my husband and I had no support. Nobody even brought a meal over for fear of infecting the baby. My husband and I both had some pretty severe anxiety and depression especially in our daughterâs first year.
I am curious to see the numbers for PPD in 2020 because I know my story is a common one. Iâm assuming it will be record highs.

37 and my neglectful abusive mother still says that I'm having a tantrum if I get angry & threatened me daily during school times that she's throw a bucket of water on me if I didn't get up now.
She doesn't understand why I refuse to have any contact with her. These horrible things being normalized made some people horrible & not realize it, because it's "normal".

My fiancĂ© most definitely has PPD but she doesnât want to get help.. itâs really starting to put a strain on my relationship with her. I have a history of depression myself but I have been seeing a therapist for years and have been putting in the work.. But All the mood swings and getting mad at me for the smallest things is starting to get old. Iâve always supported her but sometimes it feels like I canât get through one day without something happening. Iâm really trying my best but maybe I wanna feel like Iâm enough sometimes. I love her and our child more than anything but itâs hard

The biggest thing is the lifestyle change as a man. Before having a kid, I could do what I wanted when I wanted, of course Iâd run it past my wife but for the most part I had freedom. When you have kids, that window shrinks. Every time you go to have fun or do something, youâve left your wife alone to watch the baby. The guilt will destroy you. So you do much less, and spend more time helping with the baby and keeping the house in order. It gets better when the kids hit 3-4 years because theyâll want to hangout with you and they donât need as much constant attention. The sleep deprivation only lasts 3-4 months if you know how to create a good sleep pattern for your baby. But the first 3 months is really really rough. For both parents.
We get little to no help from anyone so often times we feel like we are alone in the middle of a storm on an island. But weâve just gotten used to it.
All this to say if you can hold it together and push through, and try your best, you will be given a great gift. The rewarding experience of watching your little ones grow and learn something new each day. And then one day they look at you and say, âdaddy , I love youâ and itâs all worth it.

I had post partum depression after I had my first baby. I knew I had it, but at the same time I denied having it to myself. I felt ashamed and I felt like a horrible mother. So I wouldn't admit it. I thought people would judge me and think I was a bad mother. So I wouldn't accept it.
Now I understand it better, I wish I would've told my OB/GYN. I think everything would have been better if I had talked to my Dr.s about it.
I think post partum depression is possibly partly the reason why new parents kill their babies. They get frustrated and sometimes shake, drop, throw, etc the baby. If it is a factor than most likely they didn't mean to hurt/kill their baby.
Even if you don't have post partum depression, new parents are usually sleep deprived. They get frustrated because the baby is cry. However, babies can sense their parents emotions. So if a parent gets frustrated then, oftentimes, the baby senses their parents are upset so they get even more upset.
Don't feel guilty for your emotions, usually they're normal. If you find yourself getting frustrated, either have someone take over for a little while so you can calm down.
You may not always have someone that can care for the baby for a short time. If this is the case, then sit or lay the baby down in a safe place where they can't get hurt or anything.
Then step out of the room. Stay close enough so you can hear them and get to them gast if you need to. But give yourself a time out for a couple of minutes. Let the baby cry a little bit. It won't hurt them.
Don't be hard on yourself. Don't feel guilty. Talk you g 6y u
