I need your help.<BR/><BR/>Our little Braeden was born about 6 months after Didi and I went through the most awful time of my life. I was severely depressed. Everyday was a living he.. for me. I could not function. I was really in a bad shape. But unlike your supported Kyle, my med. student husband told me that I did not have ppd and it will get better... The bottom line is that I am so glad that you are going to get medical help.

I'm glad you are not ashamed, as I still struggle sometimes with the labeling prescribed by both society and myself. There is a definite difference between "feeling down" and having a clinical diagnosis.<BR/><BR/>You are very strong, always have been, and I know you will improve as soon as you can get the proper crazy pills--er, help :) <BR/><BR/>I am assuming that the aforementioned quote came from me?? -haha- Sis, I wrote the book on dysfunction when I was at my worst...luckily, depression does not have to be a life sentence, it just has to be monitored. I've been off meds for two years now and hope has made a comeback in a big way!<BR/><BR/>Anyway! ~XOXO~ <BR/>See you soon~<BR/>(I guess I've been saying that with each comment--we're very excited, if you can't tell!)Joe and Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887771671539901554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37155978.post-51129658580910755352008-05-14T15:20:00.000-07:002008-05-14T15:20:00.000-07:00I had PPD after both the boy's were born, they had...I had PPD after both the boy's were born, they had finally started to get the med's to work on me with Andrew when I found out I was pregnant with Brandon and had to stop them. Too soon after that my brother passed away and again I sank into a deep, long lasting depression. Know that you are not alone, and if you need to talk, I'm available, and it look's like you have many others who will be there for you too! It does get better, even though it may not seem like soon enough, it will!The Country Larsen'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023374279541941222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37155978.post-88131677417101800252008-05-14T14:50:00.000-07:002008-05-14T14:50:00.000-07:00I'm so glad you have a diagnosis, and I'm also gla...I'm so glad you have a diagnosis, and I'm also glad you have a great supportive husband to help you through. I wish I could be "there" for you, but though I'm "here" for you, you can always talk to me.

Her motto is, "parenting is different for everyone, so don't judge me!"<BR/><BR/>...but maybe now we'll be able to have another uganda reunion with you around (with LOTS of yellow peppers, just for you!)... do you know whereabouts in the states you'll be heading? hopefully we'll see you soon!liso.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16648128552706503404noreply@blogger.com
