If this sounds like you, you deserve support now. You don’t have to explain your pain perfectly.

You don’t have to prove that things are bad enough. Start with someone you trust:
I’m not okay, and I need some support. by @postpartumsupportindia

REMEMBER THIS IN THE FOURTH TRIMESTER:

Love, emotional closeness, and sexual desire are connected for some people, but they are not the same thing. When resentment builds, emotional needs go unmet, or affection starts to feel like an expectation of sex, intimacy can become difficult. by @postpartumsupportindia

Really grateful to be part of a conversation that feels so close to my heart — the fourth trimester, maternal mental health, and how much a mother needs her village postpartum. 🤍

When I became a mother ten years ago, so many of these conversations were still taboo. Talking about what motherhood actually felt like, the struggles, the mental health challenges were rarely talked about.

Somewhere along my own journey, my purpose became to talk about the lesser-talked-about parts of motherhood and help break the silence around maternal mental health.

So being part of something that creates space for these conversations genuinely means a lot to me.

Loved meeting and chatting with @gauaharkhan, @tanejamainhoon and @debinabon. And the icing on the cake was finally meeting @ririitrivedi. After years of knowing each other on the internet and planning to meet, we finally met on set! 🥹❤️

Grateful for opportunities that make room for the conversations mothers have needed for a long time. by @postpartumsupportindia

Therapy helps you to see what is happening. This isn’t a pro divorce post.
If something doesn’t feel right, you deserve support in understanding it without fear, shame or pressure.

If slides 3–6 felt a little too familiar,
please know this:

You are not alone.

And asking for help is not failure.

Share it with a mother who needs to hear:
you’re not overthinking everything.

This is not about blaming the mother or the husband. Postpartum mental-health conditions are real.
We cannot pretend that untreated mental-health struggles don’t affect the people around us. They can change a person & a marriage.

MAKE MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING
MANDATORY FOR MOMS.

I’m sharing her story because no mother should feel like a bad mom because of this. Not everything is postpartum depression, but mental health issues aren’t the only criteria for moms to receive .

Every postpartum mom deserves to feel heard & supported. by @postpartumsupportindia

Got featured on @middayindia today.

This newspaper feature means more to me than just being featured; it feels like a reminder that everything I went through can now become a source of strength for someone else. I am grateful for this and glad that the Lindsay Clancy and Hayden case is raising the right discussion and awareness around postpartum mental health .

It’s time we create more noise around postpartum mental health so that it’s identified before it is too late . Moms need more support , and lesser judgement. Just because it didn’t happen to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

The Lindsay Clancy case is in court right now.

Prosecution - Says it was an intentional act.
Defence- Says it was severe postpartum psychosis. She wasn’t in control.

But here’s what’s bothering me as an Indian mom...
In India, most people haven’t even heard the term “postpartum psychosis”.

Know the signs:

Seeing/hearing things, delusional thoughts, extreme confusion, paranoia, no sleep for days, thoughts of harming self or baby.
It’s rare — 1 to 2 in 1000 births. But it’s real. And it’s treatable.

We need to stop telling new moms “just be strong”.

We need to start asking “are you okay? do you need help?”

This isn’t about excusing. It’s about prevention.

Treatment saves lives. Being heard saves lives.

If this spoke to you, share it. Someone needs to hear this today.

I was very sceptical to share this wondering if I’d be judged but had to put it here , to share that sometimes despite knowing it all when we stop doing things that work for us , we hit that low mood phase &, it’s in your lows you learn your life’s biggest lessons . May is for refuelling and getting back to my self care habits .

mental health isn’t just anxiety or depression.

It’s your ability to respond instead of react. To stay emotionally steady.
To focus, to think clearly, to remember things, to feel like yourself.

If that’s changing don’t call it normal but work on it. Start again. Today. Even if it’s small.
