Thankyou for sharing your story. I am 32 years old and had my fifth child nine months ago . I was feeling fine for one month after my baby was born. I went back to work 3 weeks after he was born. I worked full time as a medical asst. at a state mental hospital. I began with horrible headaches and it felt like I had a constant sinus pressure headache. It hurt to think . (If that makes sense). I could not sleep . I had scary thoughts constantly. I couldnt be alone for any amount of time. My husband shut me out and told me he didnt beleive me. He thought this was my way of staying home with my baby. So I didnt have to work. Even though I worked our entire 15 years together. I moved in with my mother and she took care of all five of my children and me. I couldnt do anything. It felt like I had chains on my ankles . I couldnt think of anything normal.Everything scared me. I prayed and read my bible every day. I started to imagine very scary things. I only got through it by the grace of god. I would thank God for every day . No matter how bad it was. My husband is a co-pastor and counselor at a prison. I couldnt understand how he could shut me out and say such abusive cruel words to the mother of his 5 children. I have forgiven him through the grace of god. I am living seperate from him with my 5 children. We are going to counseling as a couple and I go once a week for my Depression/Anxiety. I continue to take my medication . It is a slow healing process for me . My God and my saviour Jesus Christ continue to help me and I have been taught many lessons throughout this ordeal. I love all my children and thank God for my wonderful mother who never judged me just loved me . Who was always supportive and told me I would heal. It would just take time. I have become so much closer to my lord and savior . I continue to heal and thank god for every day. To the woman with this disorder and no hope. Know this God loves you and you will make it through this. The Psalms helped me in my toughest days. These are Gods promises to us. I continue to pray for all the women who suffer with this disorder. Today because of Christ I have hope!!!

Thank you sooo much for posting this. I’m so thankful that today I was even prompted to search for help. It was hard enough typing Post Partum!
This is exactly what each day has been like so I’m off to commit to a good 30 minutes of putting one foot in front of the other. Bless you xo

Thank you so much for linking to me. I do want my story to help as many ladies as possible. I love this site! What a wonderful resource for women suffering with PPD. If only I had been able to access something like this ten years ago!
Thanks again,
