Thoughts and feelings

Transcript

The day my child arrived I was the happiest I had ever been. There was a lot of joy and bliss during the first three weeks of my child’s life, but it was quickly thwarted by a storm of negative feelings.

I started experiencing intrusive thoughts and sadness. I often feel exhausted and that everything I am doing is wrong. Sometimes a sense of panic overrides me. I know I love my baby and I expect from myself to be happy, however I can’t even laugh and all I want to do is cry and isolate myself. I blame myself and I feel guilty for not being happy. I don't know how to explain my feelings and where to ask help from.
