As many of you know, I have been battling post-partum depression for almost a year now. At first I was scared to admit that that's what it was, but I have decided to embrace the issue and tackle it head on!
It started out as that feeling of overwhelmingness (is that even a word?) and progressively got worse. I haven't wanted to go out with my friends, I feel out of control when the house gets messy, I have irrational fears of losing the people I love, and so on and so forth. It has been really rough on me and Travis and Lauren, but I am now seeking help and I'm slowly starting to feel better.
My life is beautiful and while I may not live in a fancy house or drive a fancy car or make a ton of money, I have a lot to be thankful for. I have a husband who loves me very much (even though he can be a pain in the butt sometimes), and BEAUTIFUL daughter who makes everyday worth living for, and a dog who thinks I can do no wrong. I have 2 healthy parents who I see often now, and the rest of my family is pretty great too! So I had to have a new outlook on things and it really put my life into perspective.
If you have ever gone through this and need help, I know a great person to talk to. Also, please feel free to ask questions because I am willing to share my experiences with you and get feedback as well.
For those of you who have helped me in any way, thank you so much for your love and support. I don't know what we would have done without you!

Oh honey....call anytime, you have my number. I would love to do coffee sometime. Good for you for getting help. So many people do not and it can be so beneficial. I am so glad you are on the road to recovery.
