(a personal favorite)
I am starting Zoloft today. It's a commitment to make. I know the adjustment period is sometimes rocky, but I believe I need some supplemental adjustments to my brain chemistry. I want to operate out of a place of balance and hopefully this will help my soul feel like the {above} cheesy photograph and an Indigo Girl's song :)
I am also feeling a revelation lately, that I want to share more of my personal story. I don't want to delve into my children's or husband's -- that is theirs to share, if they want, but I believe the more you share of yourself, the more people know you, and the more people know you, the more they start to care about you. I can just meet someone and instantly they have taken a small place in my heart and I begin to think of them. I think about so many people everyday and I think that it's so similiar, if not the same, as praying for good (God) to be with them.

I want to hear your story. Have you had postpartum depression?
Kara,
I think so. I have always had depression and anxiety. I think post partum, in my case, exacerbates what is already present. It wasn't severe, just enough to dim the lights low enough that I don't have the ambition or drive to do things that make me happy and of course frazzle out on the smallest things...feeling like my standards are extremely too high and unreasonable and feeling defeated before I even try to be who I want. on and on... Relaxing doesn't exist, even if I am sitting still in a spa with Enya in the back round the percussion of compulsive thinking and anxiety always sounds through. It's exhausting always being so tense.
