I have had a rough time after baby #2. It caught me totally by surprise, even though 1 in 7 women experience some form of postpartum depression. But it wasn’t just depression, I started having intrusive thoughts and lots of anxiety as well as trouble sleeping. And because I’m very lucky to have an excellent paid parental leave and healthcare, I was able to get therapy and medicine to learn how to deal with my mood disorder and intrusive thoughts. And NPR let me make a life kit episode and comic about it, so here it is I am sharing it with you … also check out life kit for the audio version wherever you get your podcasts. I hope this helps other parents who might be struggling. And I hope people fight for better paid parental leave and mental health coverage. Thanks for reading! Lots of love to the mamas and papas out there xoxoxoxox
