I remember this day very clearly. I had just had my nails and hair done and was on the way to see family a month after giving birth to my daughter.

But I was so desperately poorly at this time. I had been diagnosed with #postpartumpsychosis and had just been discharged after spending 2 weeks on a psychiatric inpatient unit without my daughter. I was still so scared and confused at this point, and I couldn’t really understand what had happened to me.

It’s quite amazing what we can hide behind a smile, but I can see the pain in my eyes 💔

I am so thankful that I got the help I needed and got through this horrible time. Let’s keep talking about #maternalmentalhealth and keep asking new parents ‘Are you really ok?’ 💜
