I think I've hit a breakthrough with my postpartum depression and anxiety.
Cub Scout Day Camp was last week. Last year, I couldn't sleep for weeks before. This year, I decided to not stress and I didn't. If you've ever known anyone with depression or anxiety then you'll know that saying "Don't stress about it" is futile. I promise, I wanted to be able to control my emotions. I just couldn't. But this year, I could. And it felt good.
PPD is something I've been wanting to write about for a while. I just don't know where to begin. I will take this issue up soon. Hopefully my experience will help someone. Just know, that you if recently had a baby or are pregnant, and you don't feel right. If you feel sad or helpless or even feel like you don't love your baby--YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Yes, I did just yell. You are not. Get help. Don't be embarrassed. PPD is treatable. Don't let it take over your life. You will get better.
Love this. So glad you're feeling a bit better!
