Going through a mental illness, whether it's postpartum depression or something else, can be an isolating and confusing experience. When people try to tell us that our behavior is not normal, we may shut them out and believe that they don't understand what we're going through.
But the reality is that our loved ones and support systems often do have valuable insights and can help us see things from a different perspective. It's important to remember that mental illness can affect our cognition and perception, and it's okay to ask for help and support.
If you or someone you know is struggling with a mental illness, don't hesitate to reach out for help. It takes strength and courage to admit that we need support, and there are resources available to assist us on our journey to recovery.
