The Valley star Nia Sanchez knows what it means to suffer from postpartum depression, and she offered her advice to any new moms who might also be struggling.
“It was a really kind of hard season, I would say, for like, the first four to five months of their life. I had a lot of ups and downs emotionally, but I definitely feel like I’ve started to come out of it and am in such a better place,” Sanchez said. “I still hit a few big emotional waves every once in a while … but it's not consistent like the baby blues was. So I'm definitely in a much better place.
“The biggest piece of advice that I can share is, don't keep things inside. Talk to someone, share it with your partner, share it with your support system, and then seek professional help, a therapist,” Sanchez said.Sanchez also encouraged mothers to seek out small, happy moments wherever possible. She called these little, joyous moments “glimmers” and told Us that they were critical for navigating her depression.
She added, “Those little glimmers will be more and more and eventually you will come out the other side.”
