PAXmommy Mel was recently interviewed for an amazing project called The Mamas Project:

(Post 1/2). Following her first two children Mel struggled with what she now identifies as postpartum anxiety. “I always thought that postpartum depression was about harming yourself or the baby. I didn’t realize that it could include anxiety and anger, and many other things. I felt so much rage at the silliest things, like my husband shhhh-ing the baby incorrectly and I didn’t realize that I wasn’t alone. In talking with friends later, I realized how common it was.” For Mel the anxiety was heightened with a baby that slept less than an hour at a time and a high energy toddler that needed constant attention. Sleep and patience seem to go hand in hand. “People would say, you should be happy, you have two beautiful kids. And I was like, no one chooses to feel this way.” #tbt #anxiety #postpartum #motherhood#truth #motherhoodmoments #ppd #themamasproject #octobermama
