Reset

I just deleted every post I’ve made thus far. I started this blog because I was in a really dark place. Therapists were telling me to journal, and long story short, that’s how I ended up here.

All of those posts were written by a mom knee-deep in postpartum depression. While I will always deal with depression and anxiety, I’m starting to feel like myself again. I’m feeling better about motherhood and life overall, thanks to a lovely combo of Prozac and Wellbutrin. I joke about that, but I mean it.

Those posts were scary and sad to read. I was internally screaming, and no one around me knew, or knew how bad at least. Motherhood is so isolating; it’s so easy to end up in a depressive spiral. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, and it’s certainly something I do not want to experience again.

Prior to deleting all of my posts, I hadn’t blogged in months. I forgot about this page entirely. That’s changed though, as my lovely husband surprised me with a laptop for Christmas (early, of course), so I hope to be more active. It’s good for me, especially as I don’t ever speak about how I’m feeling.

This is your reminder that your depression will be easier to manage one day. Hang in there.
