Comment to my last post
As I’m interested in lessons learned as well as women’s own experience of postpartum depression or postnatal depression (PND), I decided to post this readers comments.
Charlotte writes: I also feel strongly about being kind to ourselves when suffering with PND (and for everyone at all times, of course), this is definitely the biggest lesson I have learnt from having PND. It was only when I stopped criticizing myself and went a bit easier on myself and learnt to not try and be a perfectionist about everything that the PND has eased off and I managed to get out of the self-hatred/controlling spiral. Obviously it is all a learning and not completely solved overnight but what a wonderful realisation.
