Postpartum Depression


 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"

RELATIONSHIPS (FUD 4 THOUGHT)

Everyone wants a fairy tale relationship  Where the story line goes like this On one bright Saturday afternoon at the mall I was just checking out some dresses when suddenly my purse fell I reached to pick it when he decided to do that for me I looked at him and it was love at first sight We started talking and it felt like we had known each other forever Shortly after we started dating This guy was just amazing He understood me and accepted my flaws  He was just my kind of man The love was deep and I loved every inch of it Years after, he popped the question   And I gladly accepted And we've lived happily ever after till now These kind of stories doesn't exist in reality Trust me....they don't In the beginning of every relationship is very lovely and sweet but getting to the middle of it, things become very sour And that is where questions start popping up in our  minds "Why is he/she doing this to me?, does he/she...

Upliftment 16

  Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines so when things are falling apart they may actually be falling into place. Sometimes the best thing you can do is not to think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.   You were born to make mistakes not fake perfection so don't expect everyone to understand your journey, especially if they've never had to walk your path.  What defines us is how well we rise after falling that is why you were given this life because you are strong enough to live it. You are somebody's reason to smile so stay put.   Beautiful things happen in our lives when we distance ourselves from the negative things.  Always remember ' Maturity comes when you stop making excuses and start making changes'. #inspirationMonday #Upliftment HAVE AN AWESOME DAY...........MUAAHHHH PEACE!!!!           SHALOM!!!!!

The form One XpeRienCe (Senior High) Part 2

  I was told the prep was going to be held at the dining hall since we haven't been given classes yet. I joined a batch of girls at the table and I opened a book to read. Some girls were just talking about what they did after they graduated from Junior high school and some were talking about trending things going on. I was just tired to even talk to anyone by the time I realized I was fast asleep. I don't know how fast the time went. After a while, I heard the siren and that immediately told me prep was over. I took my book and headed for the dormitory but first house prayers were made before we were allowed to enter into our dorms. I got in so exhausted. Immediately, I started packing my things because I didn't want to wait for tomorrow.  I didn't like where I was sleeping. My bed was right beside the door but hey there was nothing I could do since I came late.  Fortunately or unfortunately for me I ended up getting two school mothers; one was in form 3 and the other w...
