The time following delivery can be challenging, especially when you’re feeling depressed about your new arrival. This emotional state can affect your relationships with your partner, your baby, and your family. You’re not to blame if you don’t feel up to handling your new challenges, and asking for help is never a sign of weakness. Listed below are some ways to cope with postpartum depression.
Try a supportive friend. This friend will listen to your concerns and provide you with support. Another supporter can be a trusted relative or friend who has recently had a baby. It can help you cope with your anxiety. In addition to offering friendship, support, and empathy, they can offer practical help, such as childcare. You may even be able to offer some positive thoughts that will help you get through the day. If this doesn’t work, consider counseling or cognitive behavioral therapy.
Postpartum depression and anxiety are two common disorders in new moms. You can begin by screening for these disorders by chatting with a trusted friend or family member. If you think you might be experiencing postpartum depression, talk to your doctor about your concerns. If you’re worried about a new mom’s mental health, it’s important to be patient. It can take months to fully recover from a newborn’s first few days.
