Speaking with PEOPLE in March, Roper Tolbert gotcandid about mental health and postpartum depression, saying she didn’t know who to reach out to when she went to dark places as a new mom.
“It’s okay not to be okay. We need to normalize the feelings that we feel postpartum,” she said. “What you’re feeling isn’t something that’s too big that you can’t get help for it.”
“I think we’re expected, or we put this pressure on ourselves, to be supermoms. … It’s not like that,” added Roper Tolbert. “We’re fumbling through it and learning as we go, just as our babies are, and we need to recognize that we are human. We can’t do it all, and there is help out there.”
