Do I have Postnatal Depression?
Maybe you cry more than usual. Maybe you’re exhausted, but you can’t sleep. Maybe you feel numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your baby - or from yourself.
It’s Okay Not to Feel Okay: The Hidden Signs of Postnatal Depression
You’ve welcomed your beautiful baby. Everyone tells you this should be the happiest time of your life. So why do you feel... off?
Maybe you cry more than usual. Maybe you’re exhausted, but you can’t sleep. Maybe you feel numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your baby - or from yourself.
You’re not alone. And you’re not failing.
1 in 5 new mums in Australia experience postnatal depression. That’s more than 100,000 women every year. Many don’t realise what they’re feeling has a name—or that help is within reach.
At Diamond Women, we walk alongside women like you—because we know motherhood can be beautiful and brutal all at once.
Signs You Might Be Struggling (And Not Just Tired)
- Persistent sadness or anxiety
- Feeling emotionally flat or numb
- Difficulty bonding with your baby
- Feeling hopeless, helpless or worthless
- Withdrawing from loved ones
- Scary or unwanted thoughts you’re too afraid to say out loud
These feelings are not your fault. They’re signs your mind and body need care - just like your baby does.
