Grief and postpartum is a very dangerous combination. I know someone who landed in a mental facility for 5 weeks when her baby was barely 4 months old. Seek help, consult a psychiatrist, get therapy. Don't be afraid of medication, there are antidepressants that don't filter into your milk, and the doctor will know which ones they can safely give you, just tell them you're breastfeeding. You can manage going to therapy with a baby, many therapists allow you to bring your child. Don't let other people take control when they assume you're weak and failing, you're not. Take care.
Look at the graph in the article. I did a similar one, through for a shorter period. The wast majority is thankfully not at 7+, even if some longer periods has felt like it.
Be a bit careful to not insinuate. Being at 1-2 doesnt mean everything is good. Every day is a question of "how will this day be". I know however that if I only focus on the bad days it can only go one way, and that is downhill until you die. That may sound like a cliche, but when symptoms generally only get worse, and there is no cure, then the end of the tunnel is unlikely to be great.
As plausible as this might sound, it's kind of "just man up and power through it" advice. They stated they often don't feel well enough to leave their house.
The straps tend to break after a few years. Casio G Shock straps last a lot longer, despite being very similar. Not sure if it is because the F91W strap is thinner or made of a less durable material.
A bad day in therapy doesn’t mean the therapy is bad. I’ve had proper arguments with my therapist and even asked to quit multiple times. Thankfully stuck with it and turned out to be part of the process
Really all you can do is stick with it for a few months and see if you get better. It’s hard to tell in an immediate moment if it’s good
