In Episode 2, we talk about being "Mentally Unavailable" during our postpartum mental health journey.
Notes:

How to cope with Postpartum Mood Disorders (PPMD) while still being a fulltime mom
The differences between Postpartum Depression (PPD) and Postpartum Anxiety (PPA)
Recounting specific experiences with PPMD and how we overcame it
Side effects of prescribed medicine and debunking the shame that comes with taking medicine.

If you or someone you know is dealing with any symptoms of PPMD please know that you are not alone. Reach out to a friend, spouse/partner, internet bestie or your primary physician to discuss your options. Struggling mentally is nothing to be ashamed of and it is more common than we believe. We hope this episode is healing and brings you a sense of comfort.
