Many moms expect the fog to lift once the baby stage passes.
But what if it doesn’t?
What if you’re years into motherhood and still feel exhausted, unmotivated, disconnected—or just not like yourself?

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
Depression doesn’t have an expiration date. It can show up at any stage of motherhood.

And it doesn’t mean you’re weak, broken, or a bad mom.

​

What Depression Can Look Like (Even Years After Birth)

It’s not always obvious. Some days, you may show up, smile, do what needs to be done.
But underneath, you might feel:

• Worn down or emotionally empty

• Guilt or shame for not “enjoying” motherhood like others seem to

• Like you’ve lost yourself—your interests, identity, or spark

• Easily irritated or emotionally distant from your kids or partner

• Constantly tired, even after a full night’s sleep

• Like you’re always “on,” but never truly present

• That life feels heavy, hard, or just flat

If you’ve felt like this for more than a couple of weeks, it might be more than burnout—it could be depression. And it’s okay to name that.

​

You’re Allowed to Struggle—Even Years In

Moms are often expected to just keep going—to carry everything with a smile.
But you’re human. And no matter how old your kids are, your mental health still matters.

You might be juggling work, parenting, aging parents, relationships, and personal dreams that feel like they’ve been put on hold.

That’s a lot.
And if your emotional well-being has taken a hit, it’s not your fault.

​

There’s Still Time to Feel Like You Again

Depression doesn’t have to define you.
With therapy and support, many moms begin to:

🌿 Feel emotionally lighter and more in control
🌿 Reconnect with who they are outside of motherhood
🌿 Heal from unspoken grief, resentment, or burnout
🌿 Learn to set boundaries and prioritize themselves
🌿 Find small moments of joy, again
