Postpartum Depression || It's a Real Thing

Having a baby should be one of the happiest and most wonderful things that ever happen to us right? What NO ONE talks about is postpartum depression and how you can feel extremely sad after having a baby. I have been there. I didn’t even know it was a real thing or what was happening at the time. I remember my mom coming down to visit me after I gave birth to Kinsley and crying and crying every time she left. I didn’t feel excited or happy about having this wonderful baby. It was honestly super depressing. All of my friends were out at the bars, tailgating, and here I was planning a wedding with my first baby. I felt so ALONE in a world surrounded by millions of people. I had no idea what was going or WHY I was feeling like this. Did I love my daughter so much? Oh my goodness, YES. I prayed for her health and safety every single before she went to bed and I STILL do. I just felt very lonely.
