What's on my mind?
Postpartum depression.
I had it, but it was so weird, because I didn't know I had it when it was happening, but looking back now, it seems like how could I not know??
I got SO hypervigilant and paranoid. I was afraid to sleep, and I didn't think anyone else, could take care of my babies, not even my very loving and competent husband.
I wish I'd asked for help. But at the time, I couldn't!
Just sharing my experience, in hopes it never happens to anyone else. 🤷 💜
@janallmac so hard and made harder because we don't talk about it.
Yeah.
And for me, it was so hard to ask for help, and hard to know I was in the middle of it when I was in the middle of it.
There was a lot of mommy shaming, and misinformation, too, both of which can shove right off.
@janallmac totally unrelated, but small vicious animals are awesome :)
@AlisonRobin Hehe, yes, they are. I adore Chihuahuas, and dogs in general! I've got two, but only the Chihuahua has that unique brand of overconfident badassery that I just adore.
