I was just browsing Instagram and I came across this picture of a lady breastfeeding and sobbing at the same time, with a caption explaining postpartum depression had been the darkest hell of her life. Now... why the fuck this was on my recommended feed is another matter entirely. But, I got to thinking...
What is the true cause for postpartum depression?
Was the process of giving birth so traumatic yet unable to be hidden from since reminders of it are everywhere (i.e. you’re holding a baby, etc.) causing emotional breakdown to be unavoidable?
Is it because there’s a leach baby who wishes to feed off your very life essence by suckling the teat?
Is it because you realize your freedom and independence are gone?
Is it because your sex appeal tanked since you got fat having a baby and now you’re all blown out?
Jeez...
The reasons for postpartum depression seem to be more and more understandable with each one I list!
I’m just trying to look at the deeper meaning of things... the true cause.
I would say it’s a little bit of all the above and most likely especially the first reason.
