Postpartum Depression
I have postpartum depression....
The sadness sometimes is unbearable... The mood swings make feel like I am crazy. I don't want to be medicated. I want to try and overcome this present hurdle by trying to maintain a positive attitude and also by getting plenty of rest (easier said than done).
I have been redirecting my thoughts from the negative to the positive, I have found so many things to be thankful for. Even the simple act of awakening in the morning is a miracle, think of the many others who didn't even make it through the night and won't ever feel the sun on their skin again.
With my new attitude of gratitude I have been able to be in the new year with no tears from sadness, my baby was born at the beginning of November 2015 and the last week of December I decided I wasn't going into the new year with this isolating shroud of sadness around me.
Just taking it day by day and not worrying about tomorrow, I know God has got my back and my faith has been so instrumental in my life and a big part of my being.. Without Jesus I am nothing and but with him I am everything I want to be! I am more than enough with Jesus in my heart, and a prayer in my mouth.
