A large percentage of women experience psychological problems in the first year after giving birth.
The reasons may be different aspects: fear for the baby's life, obsessive desires and actions that scare the mother herself, aggression towards household members, lack of confidence in her abilities as an excellent mother, inability to share her problems, minimal support from others in caring for the baby, and, as a result, exhaustion of forces.
Children are most often born beloved and long-awaited, but this fact does not save women from developing postpartum depression. Shame for their behavior and fear of opening up to anyone make young mothers fight the problem alone, which becomes the main reason for the development of a depressive state.
There are several options for dealing with the development of psychological difficulties. First of all, you should listen to your mother's inner instinct and do what is most comfortable, and not follow the endless recommendations of relatives. This will help save time and hassle. It is imperative to accept and ask for help from loved ones.
You should definitely devote your free time to yourself. If there are no medical contraindications, light physical activity will help improve physical and psychological well-being. Frequent walks and active communication with friends will relieve the feeling of loneliness. Minimizing irritants can help improve your mood. These are, as a rule, people who get bored with advice, places that cause negativity, things that litter the house.
If there is a need to talk with an outsider about the state of mind, contacting a specialist will help the situation, there is nothing shameful in this. Self-care should be an important part of a mother's life. Only a healthy woman, full of strength and energy, can bring up a full-fledged personality.
