Right now you may be struggling mightily. The holiday season is a really crappy time to struggle. Not that anytime is a good time, but you know what I mean.
I'm thinking of you. I want you to know that with help, you are going to get through this. I know you probably can't even believe this has happened to you. No one deserves postpartum depression or anxiety or OCD or psychosis or PTSD or antenatal depression or anxiety. No one. But lots of us get it, and it isn't our fault that we do.
So hang in there. You are going to get through this. You will make it. Accept help from others. Put one foot in front of the other. Just do the best you can and don't worry if you can't be exactly the way you'd like to be this season.
There will be another one. And you'll be better. And you'll be able to feel all the things you used to feel, and even more.
Amen!
I wish I could put emoticons in the comments so I could give this post two thumbs up!
My 2nd son was born last November. I went through the depths of hell with my PPD through the holidays and it was the WORST. I wish, I wish, I wish I would have had someone tell me this back then!
I love this post. It is quite possibly my favorite one out of this blog to date.
