Depression with two kids - Real Mum story on MoM

9 Comments

I’m writing my story in the hopes of inspiring other mums to keep going. The journey of being a mum is not always an easy road then add in depression and it can seem like a real struggle. When i had my first baby, my son Jeremiah i was in real denial and thought that if i admitted that i was suffering that i was weak when in fact that’s not the case, you a strong to face it and eventually thats what i did. Its important to know as a mum and a person that depression does not define you, its just a part of you that needs that little extra help. Never feel like you are any less of a mother because you have depression, your an amazing mum and that’s what i have come to realise on my journey of becoming a mum.

Proud of you for being brave enough to share your story. Too many mums suffer in silence, fearing being branded as weak or incapable if they admit to not coping. I’m wishing you all the best and hope things continue well for you
