Haan na, postpartum depression is so real and people don't talk about it. Please tell your family and consult a doctor if it feels too heavy, ho na.

PPD is a clinical thing, not just tiredness. Please take a break from work or chores, and schedule an appointment with a professional immediately.

Please talk to your mother or husband about how you feel. Staying with my parents really helped me share the burden, don't fight this alone.

Let's be real, baby blues are one thing, but PPD needs proper medical attention. Don't hesitate to book a session with a therapist or tell your gynac.
