Welcome to my Anonymom series. Real moms talking about their deepest and darkest moments – anonymously. Anonymom episodes may consist of difficult topics including miscarriage, infertility, separation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other potentially triggering issues. Names have been changed to protect the identity of the mom.
This episode features Noelle, who talks to us about her experience with postpartum depression with her first child. She also talks to us about..
– the difficulties of breastfeeding and how it “ruined” much of motherhood for her
– the resentment, isolation, loneliness, and feelings of guilt that come along with motherhood
– practical suggestions and ways to make the transition into subsequent children easier on everyone’s mental health
