Hi! I’m Kate
A first time mum suffering with my mental health
I'm currently going through post natal depression and I know how lonely and frightening it is.
​
Talking about it really helps me and finding other people that are struggling makes me feel less alone - I'm always free to chat if I can be of help to anyone.
​
I am no expert on mental health or perinatal depression and anxiety but am happy to share my experiences and what helps me.
​
I have been told so many times it will get better so I am holding on to that silver lining as every day right now is a struggle.
​
I am a first time mum and live in Dublin, currently on maternity leave.
​
My son George was born over 7 weeks premature so arrived a lot earlier than expected - he was in an awful hurry! He is almost 4 months old now. I am finding it very lonely as there seems to be very few groups on having just come out of a pandemic!
​
I am filling my days keeping my mind busy with art, college work and walking my dog Sam who has been a huge help to me throughout the pregnancy and afterwards.
