hi.

in Postpartum Depression

I haven't posted on here before (that I can remember) & I've been pretty MIA from The Bump, but I did post my story today in the blog.  & maybe it will help those that are wondering "Do I have it?" the way I did for so long, trying to rationalize abnormal thoughts & feelings as normal.

Best of luck out there to everyone else.

smoochies.

    OMg I am crying so hard for you right now.  I think I may be heading towards a diagnosis myself.  I have been too afraid to even admit it to myself.  Your bravery is giving me some.  Thank you.

    Blair - 

    I've been avoiding the PPD board for weeks because I felt such shame regarding my intrusive thoughts.  No one mentioned them here (that I could find).  Most mommies just said they were "sad."  

    I found your blog entry liberating and brave.  Like you, I have a history of depression and I tried to let everyone know so that they could watch for it for me.   When I first noticed the symptoms, I tried to tell people right away.  I almost checked myself into the psych ward.  (Only my friend who is an MD talked me out of it!)  

    I am incredibly thankful that at least one other person out there had these thoughts/feelings.  I'm hoping to blog about mine, soon, too.  I don't feel like it right now, but maybe I can let you know.

    Peace to you!

    - Janie

    Great Blog! I feel/felt totally the same way about my child.  I am still feeling guilty about it. I am in the process of working it out with my psychiatrist.  I just met her for the first time today...and I feel like there is really hope for me to get better.  I just want to let you know that you are not alone.
