Posting Yay!
I was reading cesperanza's latest posts and I figured I'd give the journaling thing a go again. :)
My brain and I have been fighting a bit lately. I'm finally a new mommy after years (yes, *years*) of trying and he's the most perfect boy ever, but PPD has hit and hit hard. There are no support groups I've been able to find around here and you know what? Supporting your own self is damn hard! I made appointments and I called my Momma and a friend is coming up to visit and it's all helping, but the isolation in my brain is a bugbear. Found a cool site that has been of some help call PostPartumProgress. Had a great article that summed up a lot in my head lately: http://www.postpartumprogress.com/profoundly-alone-the-disconnection-of-postpartum-depression and one that made me want to post my angst as therapy. *g* http://www.postpartumprogress.com/5-reasons-why-saying-help-me-sucks-but-you-have-to-do-it-anyway I figure the fact I'm posting at all, no matter what it's about, is a good thing. *G*
Isn't he beautiful? :)
