Motherhood is the best time in a woman's life. At least, that's what the media, advertising, and hundreds of mommy bloggers say, capable of running several businesses, keeping their apartment spotlessly clean, and hitting the gym with a baby in their arms. In this context, it's hard to accept that life with a child might not feel like a holiday. A couple of weeks after giving birth, Ksenia Krasilnikova found herself choosing a stool to stand on before jumping off the balcony. And after a year and a half of medication and psychotherapy, she wrote a book about coping with postpartum depression. 'Not Just Tired' is a guide to one of the most common complications of childbirth, one that's rarely discussed. How to choose the right medication? What to do about the feeling that you've traumatized your child for life? How do you explain to your family what's happening to you, and most importantly, when will it all end?
