Social Distancing for a Mother who survived Postpartum Depression
I’m writing this with tears streaming down my face. I’m writing this feeling weak, defeated, guilty and really angry.
Angry that we are all going through all of this. Guilty because I’m not providing the best level of education and stimulation for my children. Guilty for not loving life right now. Defeated because I am in an emotional spot that I hate – sad, lonely, useless.
Thankful for our Mom Mentors
Thanksgiving is here. Time to set all of our worries aside and bring to mind everything we are thankful for.
Easier said than done.
But one thing I can be sure that everyone at Postpartum Support Charleston is thankful for is our Mom Mentors.
Modern Mamas: Are We Really Connecting?
A Modern Mama is smart. A Modern Mama is fast. A Modern Mama is social.
SMART because we have so much information at the tips of our fingers.
FAST because we can literally get anything delivered to our house, increasing our multitasking.
SOCIAL because we are constantly connected to someone through our cellphones and social media.
Getting Well: Part 4 | A Simple and Natural Approach
Let’s finish this series with some additional natural things that you can be incorporated at home as components of care to stay well!
Getting Well: Part 3 | Talk It Out
…let’s talk about a new mom, specifically one who is suffering from a maternal mental illness? Thoughts can become debilitating and quite frankly too much to handle alone. When you add a newborn to the mix, you immediately worry and concern for an entirely new person. Now, on top of all of the thoughts that were racing before, you have new ones, and sometimes thoughts that you can’t seem to control. This is where talking it out comes into play to help you manage those thoughts.
Getting Well: Part 2 | Movement
On your mark. Get set. GO!
Hold up – not so fast.
Getting Well: Part 1 | Meditation
We all have our own self-care list. Mine looks different from yours, and yours is different from your best friend’s. But one thing that I think all of us could benefit from is meditation.
Mothers have podcasts, too?
When I say the word “podcast”, what comes to mind?
News, politics, science?
And when you think of the typical person who listens to podcast, maybe you see a professional, wearing square glasses and drinking a cup of breakfast tea.
Well, mama, I’m about to change your mind about podcasts, because mothers have podcasts too!
