and all i can talk about.
i have post partum depression.
as if i'm the only woman in the world who's got it and everyone is intensely interested or something.
i think i'm getting better because it's the foremost thing on my mind, the fact that i've got ppd instead of just feeling sh*tty all the time.
i'm actually feeling ok today. i hope it continues. i'd been having withdrawl for about 2 weeks and that was a terrible backslide. i finally get out of bed, can't even stay in bed which was comforting and familiar, and then i'm hit with this deadening withdrawl from going off too fast. i'm stepping down by 1/4 of the med at a time, but aparently i need to step off at 1/8 at a time. suck suck suck. i hope i get something new to talk about eventually.
my big thing lately is that i'm lonely. i have no idea what to do about this. i've joined a local ppd group (www.babybluesconnection.org) but i'm impatient to make friends, i don't even know what a friend as a new mom would look like.
had a hypothyroid test last week, well, yesterday. i sort of hope my thoyroid is sluggish because that's something else we can treat. i'm positive for all the symptoms and it's connected with ppd.
i realize i've got some ocd issues, but it's hard for me to identify which ones are ocd, i think i've had some of these ocd thoughts for a while, anyway.
how are you all doing?
blessings,
Lori
