Please be kind to all the moms going through postpartum — you never know the battles they’re silently fighting.
🌷
They said postpartum is just a phase, but no one told me it would feel like loosing myself and learning to start over.
I used to be open about what I feel — but now, I think it’s better to keep things to myself.
I used to be confident about my body, and I had nothing to be ashamed of. But lately, I’ve become so sensitive whenever I hear comments about my body or the way I look.
I used to be so positive about everything, but now, I find myself constantly fighting just to keep going.
This point in my life is so hard. I lost my spark. I almost lost myself.

They say that when you’re going through postpartum, you should stay connected with people close to you — talk to them, seek advice.
But why does it feel more comforting to be alone? To process my own thoughts and reflect in silence?

While I am processing my thoughts I realized that when you’re in your postpartum season, you shouldn’t expect anyone to truly understand you — because you’ll only end up hurt. The truth is, you’ll be the one who has to understand them instead.
They’ll question your mood swings, even when you yourself can’t explain them.
They’ll give comment on your body and your looks without realizing how hard you’re trying to hold yourself together — when even you no longer recognize who you’ve become.
They only see the changes on the outside, but they don’t see the silent battle within — the one where you’re struggling to bring back the version of you who’s slowly fading away.

But you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone.
You don’t need to defend yourself either.
Just focus on yourself — on bringing her back.
Because no one else can do that for you but you.

So, to you who might be going through the same thing — if no one has told you this yet:
👉 Keep moving forward.
👉 Focus on yourself.
👉 Never let anyone take away your peace, your confidence, or your self-trust that you’re slowly rebuilding.
👉You are valid. And what you feel is valid.

P.S. I just remember what my OB-GYN told me:

“Don’t rush yourself to go back to who you were. Give yourself time to heal.” 🌿

Thanks Doc 🥰
