Safety notes
- ⚠️ Not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. If you are experiencing concerning symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions, please consult with a healthcare provider. If you are in crisis or have thoughts of harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) immediately. • For confidential support and resources for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, contact Postpartum Support International (PSI) at 1-800-944-4773 or visit www.postpartum.net. When to seek professional support: While "baby blues" (mood swings, anxiety, sadness) are common in the first two weeks postpartum and usually resolve on their own, persistent or worsening feelings of sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, or irritability beyond two weeks could indicate a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD). If you experience thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, or if you feel overwhelmed to the point where it impacts your daily functioning, please reach out for help immediately. Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or contact Postpartum Support International (PSI) at 1-800-944-4773 or www.postpartum.net. This is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
Cleanup
- 🧹 Close your journal and put away your pen. The only cleanup is the mental space cleared by acknowledging your feelings.
