Today I’m joined by fellow Melbourne mum, Jade. Jade shares with us her struggle with postnatal depression and anxiety when her son Oscar was 6 months old and Melbourne hit its first round of COVID-19 lockdowns. Jade faced the daunting task of seeking help when the world was facing a pandemic and the health system was already inundated. Jade shares the strategies and resources that helped her along the way. As part of her recovery journey, Jade started an online postpartum mental health support group on Instagram and Facebook to help other mothers who were suffering feel less alone. #letsbereal   Connect with Jade: Instagram @jade.postpartum   If you are struggling with postnatal depression and anxiety, you can: Call PANDA on 1300 726 306 9am – 7.30pm Mon – Fri (AEST/AEDT) Visit cope.org.au/getting-help Call Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14   Connect with me: Website realmotherpodcast.com Instagram @realmotherpodcast
