"No one would miss me if I just disappeared"

In this raw and emotional episode, Nurse Orlagh Stevenson shares her deeply personal battle with postnatal depression, a condition that affects 1 in 5 women in the UK, yet often goes unseen and unheard.

Through tears, honesty, and courage, Orlagh opens up about the darkest moments of new motherhood, the overwhelming feelings, the isolation, and the heartbreaking thoughts that nearly made her walk away. What followed was a journey through pain, healing, and ultimately, strength found in vulnerability, support, and family.
