Now that your little angel has arrived, you're supposed to be filled with happiness. But why is this unexplainable sadness? No worries, you are experiencing this so called "baby blues". During this period, your husband becomes your object of anger (poor dad). Irritability & confusion set in and crying becomes your favorite hobby. You're afraid that you will practically lose your insanity. Sometimes, you'd think you will transition from reality to illusion so you would try to stay away from dangerous places or harmful objects so you don't get to harm yourself or your baby. It is important not to watch bad news on TV or absurd or disturbing movies like Black Swan. Kidding aside, it is beneficial to be aware that you're going through this temporary ordeal.
So how do you deal with it? Let me give you few tips based from my own experience.
- surround yourself with optimistic and happy people and stay away from the negative ones
- spend time with your loved ones
- eat nutritious foods,exercise & drink plenty of water
- read or research about postpartum depression to educate yourself and increase awareness
- pray
- discuss with your spouse
- watch comedy films or shows
