Thank you for sharing this ❤️ It’s so important to talk about it. I didn’t have PND but found your insights about breastfeeding and prolactin really interesting!
I loved this! You write so beautifully and I love how vulnerable this post is. I’ve always been ‘scared’ of the equation in my mind “having a baby = less creativity” but you definitely prove that’s not the case. I’ve always been inspired by you and what you achieve, as you know haha. I’ve been reading ebb and flow and I just wanted to say your work is always delightful.
Side note, I also binged the Ruth Galloway series some years back, I was OBSESSED but then stopped because Nelson was annoying me, but I think about it often and wonder whether I should come back to my girl Ruth.
Thanks for this really open and honest post Tiff. Much of your story is similar to mine including manky DMER. Horrid. So glad you're coming out the other side.
I'd love to be able to share this with the occasional mum I'm working with as I think they'd feel less alone with their feelings. X
Thank you for sharing about this so vulnerably and I’m glad you’re doing a bit better now!
I just wanted to say that I always really enjoy reading your work - even when you’re just writing about the times when you make a coffee and go into the garden, it makes me feel cosy and happy and reminds me of the little joys in life :) (and also wanted to say I am obsessed with the Ruth Galloway books too haha)
Another exceptional post, Tiff. Love the writing and preparedness to be so honest. I think Substack is your ‘home’ for your work.
I also found the piece on Setraline v helpful - I’ve been on the drug too since 2018 after developing anxiety linked to high pressure job and toxic relationship. Thankfully was already on it when I had my heart attack. I’d like to come off it eventually - but know it will be a longish process (currently on 150 daily).
