In this episode, I sit down with Michelle, Freckled Foodie Family member, mother, and brave and beautiful human being, to discuss her experience with postpartum depression and psychosis. We discuss how Michelle came to be on the podcast, Michelle’s early postpartum experience in the few days after her daughter’s birth, and the confusion and shame that so often permeate the postpartum experience. Michelle shares how her postpartum depression developed upon returning to work, how her psychosis manifested and what that felt like, and what helped pull her out of her darkest days. If you or someone you know is struggling with postpartum anxiety, depression, psychosis, or simply needs community and support after birthing a child, please know you are never alone and help is available.
