MIA, A cautionary Tale...

in North Dakota Babies

Make sure you take care of yourself.  I did not, I did not want to accept my PPD diagnosis; I was ashamed, embarrassed and devastated with it.  I couldn't understand why I could handle things before and now I was unable to.  I ignored things that I should not have for way too long (I was diagnosed with A was about 4-5 months) and I paid the price.  I hurt my family and said just awful things to my DH.

I know I am being a little vague, but it is not something that I want posted all over the web, but it was not good...  And, part of me is just not ready to talk about what happened.

What I do want to say is that those of you who sent me Christmas cards really lifted my spirits and could not have come at a more perfect time.  It reminded me that you are all always here if I need support and I need to remember to use your shoulders to cry, vent and *** to.

I'm doing better and I can email those of you that want the dirty details...but it might not be for a few weeks.  We had a wonderful Christmas and I have an incredible DH who told my parents in the middle of my breakdown that he is not leaving and he is in it for the long haul.  I am just counting my blessings of a supportive family, a wonderful DH, and a group of women I can trust my feelings with.  So thank you!

    huge hugs sweetie. You will find your way through this. I promise. It sounds like DH and your family are offering great support. Please remember to be kind to yourself, as nothing you did caused you get PPD. It just happens due to hormones and some other stuff, which I'm sure you know. But I hope you can be gentle with yourself. With love you so much and are here for you in however you need. Please reach out if you need anything, even if it is just a virtual hug.
