Reagan Elizabeth explained how she has dealt with similar issues and her advice was to be open and honest about the experience. Reagan responded:

“Yes! I had postpartum anxiety, more than postpartum depression, but my biggest advice is to be open and honest about what you are experiencing with your family, friends, doctor, etc. Don't try to work through it on your own. It's so common & so many women suffer. I was surprised how many people told me they experienced the exact same thing.”
Further, Reagan explained that it is important to ask for what you need. She said:
“I also recommend making sure you ask for what you need. Sometimes we try to "do it all" and the expectations are way too high. Get help and rest when you need it and make sure you make time to do things that are just for you.”
