Common Signs of Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

Common Signs of Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

In the past, I have tried to be fairly open about living with major depression. If you’ve been here before, you’ll know that it’s something I was diagnosed with at the age of 14. I also have (undiagnosed) anxiety and hypervigilance (which mimics PTSD). I have anger issues. I’m a recovering perfectionist. I had mild postpartum depression- twice. Can you relate? Even if you can’t relate to all of it, maybe there’s something we have in common. For example, postpartum depression. It occurs far more commonly than society seems willing to acknowledge.

3 Easy & Essential Means Of Helping Any Room Feel More Spacious

Pexels – CC0 License While we can design and renovate our home space to the hilt, there are certain immutable characteristics of our property that we will struggle to change. The dimensions of its construction, for example.
