As a 34-year-old woman, I never thought I would be dealing with paternal postpartum depression. After the birth of my child, I struggled with overwhelming feelings of sadness and anxiety that I couldn’t shake. It took me a long time to realize that it’s okay to seek help and that I am not alone in this. Through therapy and a strong support system, I have been able to take small steps towards healing and finding light in the midst of darkness. It’s not easy, but I am learning to prioritize self-care and recognize my worth as a mother and as a person. To anyone else going through something similar, please know that it’s okay to ask for help and that you are stronger than you think. There is hope and healing ahead, even on the darkest days.
