So I figure I better give some more background then what I said in my last post. Like I had written I have had some form of mental illness since I was 17. Back then it was just depression. Its much more now, but I will get into that later.
I was just 17 when I first heard the words CLINICAL DEPRESSION. To a teenager that can be and was life altering. I couldn’t quite wrap my mind around it at the time. I just took the medication my doctor gave me, did some therapy (pretty much useless at that time) and went on with my life. Six months later I was “okay” and didn’t have to take anything else, or see the therapist.
Fast forward to about 31 years old and I had my second child. I was diagnosed with postpartum depression. And this would send me into a tail spin. My baby is now almost 7 and I am almost 38. I have been unable to self regulate and control myself.
I have to find the strength to write the next post. I will be back soon.
