It's been like a minute since I was last here. It's been a very busy time for me so please pardon me.
Life is a mystery; sometimes the kind of things that you encounter through it makes it incomprehensible but we still try our best to make meaning of whatever we go through
Let's have a chit chat shall we?
Have you heard about postpartum depression?
Is something that mothers go through after childbirth. They become overly overwhelmed
They feel their child is not theirs
They feel the child is cursed
They feel the child has no connection with them
They feel they are not good mothers and so on
These are few things that they go through
Going through pregnancy is not an easy thing and the after birth is not easy either
Sometimes people feel as a woman, you have to be fine after the delivery but it's sometimes difficult
There are some mothers out there that are finding it very difficult but no one talks about it
The only thing we see on social media is the pre photo of the mother when she's carrying the child and an after picture when the baby is delivered and sometimes a picture of the mother looking all snatched up after weeks of delivery.
No one posts their problems on social media so people think motherhood is that easy
They go through a lot and this is one of them
They going through this, doesn't make them less of a human being
They experience mood swings. Instead of them being happy, they rather become afraid.
When that happens they need alot of support from their support system to help them go through it
They should be treated with care and love
And they should also understand that what they are going through is a phase and they will soon be okay
Some people think of killing themselves. That is too extreme. When that happens the person needs to talk to a psychiatrist so that something can be done immediately.
This has to be talked about more often so that new mothers out there will get to know about stuff like this so that they don't get to think they are possessed.
Always remember "You are a conqueror"
