Already Become a Mother, Psychiatrist Reminds Not to Forget These 4 Things

Dream - Drastic changes are experienced by a woman when she becomes a mother. It is not just physical, but also psychological, priorities, and decision-making considerations in her life.

Mothers often prioritize their children in every situation. It sounds noble, but it's like a double-edged sword.

"Because if such condition continues to occur continuously and the mother does not fulfill her own needs, she will 'lose' herself. Stress and depression become highly possible risks when a mother continuously 'forgets herself'. According to Dr. Zulvia Oktanida Syarif, a mental health specialist or psychiatrist, when becoming a mother, a woman will often forget four things. What are they?"

1. Me time

Many mothers feel guilty if they rest, pamper themselves, or just wake up late. Many mothers feel guilty if they rest, pamper themselves, or just wake up late.

During this time, the figure of a mother is associated with many roles and responsibilities, when it's me time, it feels like the children and husband are neglected. Try to find time for me time. According to Dr. Zulvia, when a mother takes me time, there is no need to feel selfish because it is a necessity.

"Who says me time is selfish? Every mother needs me time. Me time is necessary for the process of recharging, synchronizing the body and mind, relieving stress, and untangling the tangled thoughts."
"ungkap dr. Zulvia." translates to "revealed by Dr. Zulvia."

"2. Maintaining a relationship with the husband"

"This is very important. If there are problems in the relationship with your partner, it will affect the mother's mental and emotional condition and will influence the mother's parenting patterns towards the child. So it is very important to build and maintain a healthy, open, trusting, and loving relationship with your partner," said Dr. Zulvia.

3. Have fun with the kids.

Taking care of children is indeed a big responsibility, but it should not make parents feel stiff and full of fear. Especially to the extent of considering children as a burden.

"Parenting should be fun. Do things that are enjoyable together with your child. If the child still feels stiff and afraid of parents, feels awkward or awkward, hmm, there is something wrong with the parents' approach to the child," said Dr. Zulvia.

4. Enjoy the current moment

So being a mother indeed makes us have to finish many things in a tight time. Household routines or work often make us drown in busyness. "Being busy reminds children of this and that, worrying about things that haven't happened yet, trapped in regret, etc., makes mothers actually lose the moments that are actually present in front of them," said Dr. Zulvia.

It reminds us that children grow very fast, and sometimes it brings the sudden feeling that they are already adults. "This is your time with them. Enjoy. Just.enjoy.every.single.time," said the doctor who practices at RSUD Tarakan Jakarta. Source: Instagram dr. Vivi Syarif.
