How to deal with postpartum depression
Find an empty space and spend time alone where no one will judge you, give you unnecessary pressure or knowledge.
Take deep long breaths. Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.
After considering your thoughts, also remember that these thoughts do not reflect your personality nor do they label you a bad mother. These are your personal thoughts, which are going on in your mind. Affirm that you are healthy and such thoughts change in a moment. They don't define your life.
Challenge your thoughts. Ask yourself whether these thoughts are true or simply exaggerated or unfounded.
If you are unable to decide between right and wrong, share your feelings with someone. It plays a very important role, it makes the heart feel light. Speak your heart out and express your feelings openly to someone close to you or your partner.
Give some time to your body in 24 hours. Whether it's a hot bath, a short walk, your favorite book, organizing your closet or applying makeup. It is very important to spend time with yourself. If that's not possible, get a full night's sleep whenever you can.
Remember that every postpartum depression is 100% treatable. Think on the positive side of it and turn your mind towards positive energy through yoga and meditation. If you can't find a solution, contact a consultant.
