Healing After Postpartum Depression Journey | Rachel Blogg

Описание: Welcome to Perfectly Imperfect Me 365 — I’m Rachel, a licensed DBT therapist and someone who personally walked through postpartum depression (PPD).

In today’s episode, I open up about my real postpartum experience after my first son. I had everything “ready” — the baby classes, a scheduled C-section, a nursery full of love — yet what arrived wasn’t bliss but deep exhaustion, anxiety, and sadness. Within a week, I felt numb, disconnected, and trapped by intrusive thoughts that replaced the joy I expected.

For any mom who’s whispering “why am I not okay?” — you’re not broken, you’re healing. PPD is not weakness; it’s a treatable condition that deserves compassion and support.

In this video, I share what helped me recover:
💧 Accepting the small wins — showering, eating, resting.
🌿 Finding a postpartum support group.
💬 Reaching out for professional help.
❤️ Allowing myself to be imperfect and human.

If you’re in it right now: please know, you are not a bad mom. You are doing brave, unseen work.
If you’re supporting someone through PPD: don’t say “just enjoy it.” Bring food, hold space, let her rest.
