Aarti, thank you for sharing this. I, too, had PPD/PPA after my firstborn daughter. It was horrible. Truly the worst year of my life. I couldn't understand why I was struggling so badly- no connection to my baby, no sleeping, panic attacks, utterly despair. My husband also was the first one to suggest seeing my Dr. My lovely obgyn first off gave me a big hug and then shared how frequently women struggle with this. I too had major hangup about medication. But it definitely saved my life and likely my daughter's. When the cloud lifted after the meds kicked in, I finally felt a bit like a mother. 11 years later and I pray that I can help any struggling momma that God puts me in front of. Thank you for sharing because I truly believe God will use this to help other mothers.♥️

Aarti, I love that you shared this. 💕 I didn't have PPD with my 4 sons, but I have suffered from chemical depression for years. Your description of how your depression felt as well as the feelings you struggled with about it were very much the same as mine. I had tears in my eyes listening to you explain your story. I can relate so well with that dark place that sucks the life out of even us genuinely happy people. 😊 I've been on and off of medication through the years to help me cope, but like you, I can now tell when I can't manage it alone now. I have learned to see it coming and know when to reach out for help. Sincere prayers for you as you continue to heal, to enjoy your babies, and learn to see yourself again for the absolutely amazing person that you are, both inside and out. I love you! Can't wait to hear more about how you're doing!

Just arising from a very dark episode that culminated in an intense death wish simply to be able to rest…i know it sounds absurd to want to be dead so you can finally sleep and not feel like you are constantly failing your child and family. My family is very supportive but for the past five months since having my beloved son I tried to weather this out and brush it under the rug while pressure kept growing and growing. Finally took the necessary steps to see a professional and if need be get the medication I need for us to restore our course. Thank you for this video. It is definitely a great relief to know you are not alone and not insane for feeling this way. Much love to you and your family💗💕

Welcome back aarti! We miss you! My sister has been through this with all of her 3 children and governments need to bring awareness to this issue, every expecting mother needs to be prepped for this (even though you can never really be prepared). i'm glad you're talking about it. Your biggest fan from Saudi Arabia.

I know this is neither here nor there, but I've been following you since the start and you have brought me a lot of joy just watching you cook on TH-cam. I wish you'd come back here. Anyway thank you for this, I am not a mom yet but I feel much more prepared for all contingencies knowing that there's hope no matter what happens.

Something that contributed to my postpartum depression was my Grandmother. She came to help me, but never lifted a finger. I had to do her laundry, cook for her etc. After she left the depression did not just go away, I was exhausted.

p.s. Please post more Cooking vids!
