Coming Through

Abstract

Ever felt that the supermarket shelves were out to get you? Or that suddenly the silverware needs polishing at 2am? Or that every photograph is somehow sucking another gram of your energy? And you have a baby that is utterly adorable, but you do not deserve it; your life is inextricably changed, and so far, not for the better; and yours and ours and theirs and everyone we know’s expectations of new motherhood are a big big lie? You’re not the only one (despite what you might think right now) and your story adds to hundreds of other stories, creating a matrix of bearing witness to the lived experience of postnatal depression (in animated form).
