Struggling After Baby? Postpartum Support for Moms in McKinney, TX & Online
Have you had your baby, but you don’t feel like yourself anymore?
Maybe you're crying more than usual, feeling anxious all the time, or wondering, “Shouldn’t I be happier right now?”
If this sounds like you, know this: you’re not alone, and there’s nothing wrong with you.
You’re Not the Only One Asking:
Why am I so emotional all the time?
Is this just the “baby blues” or something more?
Why do I feel disconnected from my baby or partner?
Is it okay that I don’t feel okay?
These are real, honest questions, and we hear them from moms every single day. Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also be overwhelming, isolating, and even scary — especially when you're not sure what you're feeling or why.
Common Signs You Might Need Postpartum Support:
Constant worry or racing thoughts
Sadness or crying more than usual
Feeling numb or like you’re in a fog
Guilt, shame, or feeling like a “bad mom”
Trouble sleeping even when baby sleeps
Not feeling bonded with your baby
Feeling angry, frustrated, or hopeless
Even if you just nodded “yes” to one of those, therapy can help.

Try This: A Quick Postpartum Wellness Check
Here’s a quick list to check in with yourself:
Have I eaten a real meal today?
Have I had more than 5 hours of sleep (even broken up)?
Have I had 15 minutes just for me — not for the baby, the house, or anyone else?
Have I talked to someone I trust this week?
Have I had a chance to move my body, even just a walk or stretch?
Have I asked for help when I needed it?
If you said “no” to more than one or two of these, it might be time to reach out. Therapy is one way to give yourself the care you so freely give to others.
