"I Thought It Was Just Baby Blues"
After I gave birth, I expected to be tired. Everyone warned me about the sleepless nights and the emotional ups and downs. So when I felt exhausted, foggy, and weepy, I told myself it was normal.
But this felt deeper. My body felt empty, like something had been drained out of me.
My arms felt weak holding my baby. My heart would race at night even when the room was quiet. I loved my child fiercely, but I didn’t feel like myself anymore, and that scared me.
