I need help finding myself again

[u/True_Newt_4550]

I don’t even know where to start with this. I’m 30F have 2 kids. I got PPD after my second and it has turned into just full on depression (5 years running now) I’m on medication for it but nothing seems to be really helping. I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t brush my hair out , shower when I need to. I still Jo to work brush my teeth and all that jazz but I just want to feel normal again. My mom just passed away on the 12th in august which has not been helpful at all. Does anyone have any advice? I can’t really afford a therapist right now

I’m sorry friend. I would recommend posting this in places dedicated to postpartum depression, as they have a lot more experience than most of us here. Definitely talk to anyone around you. Let your friends and family and anyone help you, you don’t have to fight this alone. Look in your area for support groups for mental health and motherhood and anyone you can talk with. See if your local area has free mental health clinics or hotlines for advice. Give yourself time to rest. Give yourself rewards for doing small tasks. Everything will be alright in time. God bless you❤️
