“I was happy, so I didn’t think I would be depressed.”— Dakore Speaks on Postnatal Depression.
I was talking to an older friend of mine, and it’s good to have friends that are not just your age mates. So, I called her and I was like I’ve been feeling this type of way. She asked further questions and said I think you have postnatal depression. So, I went to the hospital and I discussed it with my OBGYN, and she says “Oh yeah these symptoms are signs of postnatal depression”. From there I was like “Wow! So this can happen to me? But this is the happiest time of my life, I just had my baby this and that but I couldn’t help feeling like something was wrong. You know, I became very OCD. I always want to clean everywhere and make sure everything is in place. If I washed dishes and somebody put a dirty dish in the sink I would lose my temper. It was just very strange.
