  • A new mother has thoughts about harming her baby.
    EVERYTHING'S FINE is used with permission from Danny Rhodes. Learn more at everythingsfinefilm.com.
    Kathleen is a new mother, staying at home with her child while her husband works. But while her house is large and spacious and things seem okay, the adjustment is proving difficult, and she's feeling anxious lately.
    As she goes about her day, she has startling imaginings of disasters and darkness. But as these intrusive thoughts get more disturbing, the line between reality and imagination becomes blurred.
    This horror-drama short -- written by Lisa Cisneros and directed by Danny Rhodes -- is a painstakingly constructed portrait of one woman's descent into an increasingly severe post-partum anxiety and OCD, exploring how it can bleed into psychosis. Like many films in the horror genre, it raises chills and suspense with excellent editing and command of craft. But the horror here comes from watching a mother slowly become unhinged, and wondering just if or how she may break.
    The film is almost minimal in many ways, with little dialogue and an almost abstract, cool and distant visual style is almost antiseptically gleaming. Kathleen's world seems cold, lonely and isolating, which does nothing to help her feelings. She lives in a large, comfortable home, but the way it is shot often turns the space into something strange, uncanny and alienating.
    With such a crisp, clean execution, the film generates suspense by setting up the growing severity of Kathleen's state of mind. It constantly toggles between her dark imaginings and her reality, at first shifting jarringly between the two.
    Lead actor Maura Kidwell balances the multiple layers of her role, playing a competent mother on the surface, a more unbalanced one in her visions, and also the inner flickers of shame she feels as she comes out of each fugue state, dismayed at what she's just imagined. But as the shifts become ever so much more seamless and subtle, until what seems real is revealed as not -- and alarmingly raises the question of when Kathleen will cross the line and turn her urges into action.
    EVERYTHING'S FINE ends on an emotionally complex, disquieting note, one that seems like a happy ending but is not. The indeterminacy of it raises important questions and thoughts about motherhood, mental health and just how prevalent yet hidden post-partum adjustment disorders can be.
    It's tempting to judge Kathleen harshly because we assume the love engendered by motherhood is so powerful and all-consuming that it can overcome anything. We also judge mothers harshly if they at all deviate from the "good mother" ideal -- and yet we question just why so many stay silent when they struggle with mental illness. The result of the intense fear of judgment is often a seemingly small storm of shame, suffering and silence -- one that can easily gain momentum and become something much larger and more foreboding when it's ignored or hidden.

      It’s called postpartum psychosis. It isn’t the same as postpartum depression. It can manifest at any time I believe, and we have cases that have made it into the mainstream media.
      The most famous case would be Andrea Yates, who, suffering from worsening postpartum psychosis (requiring hospitalisation) with each birth, was off her treatment and drowned her four children. She was advised not to have children after the first two and had been hospitalised to protect herself and her children from her delusions. She heard voices, had hallucinations and I believe felt one of her children was going to grow up to be a criminal and God called her to take the lives of them to save their souls.
      She was part of the quiverfull movement, to abstain from birth control and leave the amount of children she would have to God.
      It’s scary and it’s real.

      Yeah! SUPER huge symptom of postpartum depression, but most women won't talk about it because of the intense guilt. They become so terrified that something is gonna happen to their babies or that they'll hurt them by accident, that the most horrific, grotesque thoughts just bombard these moms, making them feel like even worse people. I like that they weren't afraid to bring up the sexual thoughts component, because that's something that people with this condition and OCD suffer from commonly as well, which is SUPER rare for them to talk about. I even have a phobia of child molestation ever since I went off to college and was away from my nephew for the first time, and my sister moved in with a new boyfriend I'd never met before. I became so consumed with the fear that he would be touched inappropriately, that I was hospitalized. Then the obsessive thoughts expanded to include, "what if I got accused of doing that?" and the worst: "what if I could do that to someone?". It's absolutely horrible, because it's the thing you're MOST afraid of/disgusted by, LEAST likely to do, but the thoughts just keep replaying in your head.

      You must be VERY young. Babies do not "cry too much" unless something is wrong...that is their only way of communication. They cannot verbally express themselves any other way. However I do understand constant cries can be unnerving and colicky baby can drive a person mad because they're in pain and it takes time for medications to work and make them feel better.

    She is having PPP. She is way past the depression stage and into psychosis. It is SO important to inform someone of how your feeling and for your significant other to be observant to because as a mother you may not even realize it has gone that far so its up to those loved ones as well. Although she DID NOT actually harm her baby she very well could have. No rational mother would intentionally harm a baby that they created and gave birth to however when not in the right state of mind sadly anything can happen. Great film guys!!

This is assuming there were no complications with the delivery or C-section, and that the baby is healthy. Plus, there is cost associated with it, which can be very expensive for many families, even with insurance. Plus, medication may not be recommended for PPP if the mom is breastfeeding (although I'm not a doc). It's a very complicated, and tricky thing.

She feared she would hurt the child, and I told her a story about people who are fearful of hurting others to the point that they believe they might do it themselves.

    I've heard of this. It's a common symptom of postpartum depression, but a lot of women don't discuss it because of the guilt. I've also heard of this happening to people with OCD. They get an obsessive thought that they might end up killing someone, and even though they don't WANT to, have NO desire to kill anyone, they're so afraid that they might do it, that it keeps them completely isolated from people. It's really sad, because it's really rooted in thinking you're a terrible person and having low self-esteem, and nothing to do with the actual desire to kill anyone. With postpartum, I've heard it comes from fear of being a bad mother, or of something bad happening to your baby.

    Post partum depression/psychosis can be caused by severe chemical imbalances in the mother after giving birth. It's not only a psychological condition, but a severe medical condition, and anyone who experiences any symptoms of this should get help immediately. The truth is, depending on the severity of the post partum condition, usually the mom suffers the most and sometimes it gets so bad that they either kill themselves, or they get to the point where they may neglect the child or place them in risky situations that can harm the child. Get help and don't be afraid to ask....and don't be ashamed. New mama's really need help. No one has their first child and knows everything or is a perfect mother. In this world, mothers need to help new mothers and be there for them, as there's so much anxiety, fear, and loneliness that can come at the most amazing and beautiful event in someone's lives. No mama is perfect, nor should anyone ever think that a new mom should be perfect in every way after bearing a child for the first time.

    I suffered severe post-partum depression and anxiety after my second baby was born. At one point, I lost so much sleep between my infant and toddler's sleep schedules that I began to hallucinate, and my nerves were shot. Please, if you are suffering and worried you might harm your baby, get help! My family were so supportive and really helped me get through... but if you can combine help from those close to you with counseling from a licensed therapist, DO IT. You aren't alone! 💜

    I had PPD after my first son was born, I was only 15 and I think it may have been triggered by his horrendously difficult and painful delivery . I remember crying for hours on end thinking that I was useless and that my baby would be better off without me , I can’t say I ever wanted to physically hurt him but I felt completely indifferent to him. I fed him, changed him , bathed him but I felt no pleasure in these things , I was exhausted and looking after him was a chore. I went onto have 2 more children and thankfully never experienced it again ... it’s a terrible thing .

Let her take a break hang out with her friends and laugh with them and enjoy them. She may feel ugly because post-partum body can make you feel down make sure like i said before make her feel beautiful, tell her EVERYDAY TOO love her and kiss up on her.. don't dismiss her feelings by telling her its going to be okay.. ask how you can help her feel better... most importantly...be understanding ❤
