"Llegué a pensar que odiaba ser mamá": Mi lucha con la depresión postparto.

Have you ever felt like you "killed" your former self when you became a mom? In this episode of "Mom in the Mess," Ale Cisneros talks with Lidia about the darker, more real nuances of motherhood. We speak candidly about the grief of losing your professional identity, the fear of a C-section, the traumas that surface during breastfeeding, and that critical moment when exhaustion and depression make you say, "I can't take it anymore." This is an essential episode for any mom who has felt alone during this process. If you relate to this, remember you're not alone. Seek professional help if you feel your mental health is at risk.
