Maybe you expected to feel grateful and instead you feel numb, frightened, furious, or far away from yourself. Maybe the worry won’t switch off, or thoughts arrive that scare you. Postpartum depression and anxiety don’t always look like sadness. They can look like anger, exhaustion, intrusive thoughts, or a constant sense that you’re failing at something everyone else seems to manage. None of it means you are a bad parent.

But expectations are tricky little things that have a tendency to implode and suck you in like a black hole. You didn’t realize you had them until they’re already affecting you and it’s too late.
