You’re welcome Esther. It’s possible you could’ve suffered from ppd, just a lighter form than mine. Depression is just that, feeling bouts of loneliness and isolation. Society teaches us to fight through these things but I think it’s much more effective and healing when we embrace it. We nurture it, love it, and let it go. Glad you’re feeling better. It’s really a never ending battle. You’re doing great mama. Cheers!

Thank you Aimee. You and I both have gone through dark times in the past, and I believe this is why we connect on a deeper level today. So glad to have met you. Much love and light xx

I’m sorry I didn’t get to this comment sooner. Life with three kids! You’re so right and I really hope I can do so. It’s so sad how many women go through ppd in the dark without any help. We hear stories on the news but move on like it’s someone else’s story. Thanks for the reminder, I will keep sharing. 🙂

Thank you so much Kimberlee. Yes I hope you can pass along to mom friends and let them know they are not alone! 🙂 Hugs xx

Thank you for reading Malissa! Isn’t it funny how the most challenging job in the world comes without a manual, with very little support? As if we mothers are just born to do this without kindness, understanding and love? I’m glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for sharing. It really means a lot. Happy new year friend!

I know, me too! Being under that shadow was so scary and lonely. I’m definitely glad I’m feeling better now and through this experience I now watch my mental and emotional health more carefully. Glad you’r’e in the sun too! Depression can be such a debilitating disease, I think I may have it had it during teenage years without even realizing. But that’s a whole another story. 😉

Thank you so much Jeeyoung. This experience was traumatic (even to this day) but I’m glad I experienced it because it made me less judgmental, more empathetic. And until this happened I thought I had everything together. Hah! Your support and encouragement means a world to me and I want to do the same for other moms who may be going through similar emotions. Thanks for reading!

It really is and I’m so glad I survived it. It gave me a much deeper understanding of motherhood in genera. Thank you for reading!
