Is it normal to feel guilty or ashamed about having postpartum depression? 😭

1y ago

Apparently, many mothers feel ashamed about it and that is why no one talks about it. As women are born to have babies, we are expected to be able to cope. However, there is NOTHING to be guilty or ashamed about. Everyone react differently to even the same situation. Please do not be ashamed to reach out. Seeking help is a very courageous act!
