"La mia gravidanza è stata un incubo", il racconto choc di una giovane madre

Mercoledì 20 Luglio 2016, 19:08 di Alessia Strinati

Non sempre la gravidanza è un periodo bello per una futura mamma. Brittany Scala è una mamma di 26 anni e lo scorso settembre ha dato alla luce la sua prima figlia, Milena Grace. Purtoppo però non riesce a ricordare quei giorni come momenti felici a causa della depressione. Ma oggi è felice e invita qualunque futura o neo mamma a curarsi il prima possibile ...

Dal suo blog:

|| THANKYOU ||. . My life truly began the day I held her in my arms, the moment I decided to love and be myself. Thank you so much for your response to my blog last night & Thankyou to everyone for taking a few minutes to read it - all the beautiful messages, comments and emails have overwhelmed me and touched my heart. I knew that there would be women that could relate to my struggle and boy was I right. I really hope by highlighting this issue we can create more awareness and less stigma. I have read every email, message & comment but just haven't had the time to respond with a few exciting and unexpected things that came up today. I promise to get back to everyone when I can. The Internet can be a horrible place at times but it can also be a supportive, empowering community where you feel less alone if you let it.

«La maggior parte delle donne soffrono di nausea e vomito durante la gravidanza, io mi sono ammalata di depressione prenatale per nove mesi», così ha raccontato la donna al Daily Mail, spiegando cosa significa convivere con questa malattia mentre si aspetta la propria figlia.

|| BLOGGED ||. "WHEN THE HAPPIEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE JUST IS'NT." This is a "transformation" pic yes but to me my transformation is not based just on a body transformation but a transformation of my mind and soul. The picture on the left is me probably around the time I really realised something was not right and that I had started to disconnect from the world around me. Looking at that picture makes me feel very anxious as it brings many bad thoughts to the surface but it's something I felt I needed to share. On my blog tonight I am speaking about my very personal journey of pregnancy depression. Some things I say may offend you or you may really connect if you are struggling or did your self. Please be kind & try not to judge - the reason I am sharing is to reach out to any one who is struggling and anyone who has struggle so they know they are not alone. If you think you may have pregnancy depression please know that it is ok to ask for help and that it is ok to seek professional help. When I was suffering I saw a psychologist, psychiatrist and had weekly OB appointments to make sure we were both coping. It's not something I'm proud of but what I am proud of is how far I have come.

Brittany piangeva in continuazione, era sempre triste, soffriva di ansia e si sentiva terribilmente sola, nonostante la vicinanza di tutti i suoi familiari: «Ci sono stati giorni in cui deliravo così tanto che non riuscivo a camminare. Dormivo sul pavimento per ore fin quando non tornava mio marito e mi metteva a letto».

|| HAPPY MONDAY |||. If there's one thing I'm sure of with my little Insta community is that it's the best support network around for my new mum life.

Un terribile stato emotivo che ha preoccupato tutti, temendo potesse peggiorare con la nascita di Milena. Fortunatamente, però, dopo il parto tutto è tornato come prima, ma Brittany si sente in colpa nei confronti di sua figlia per essere arrivata quasi al punto di rifiutarla. Oggi la giovane mamma consiglia a chiunque dovesse percepire qualcosa che non va di rivolgersi a un medico e di non vergognarsi perché, purtroppo, la depressione pre natale è più diffusa di quanto si creda.
