I was
discussing with a friend recently about depression and I’d realized that I
hadn’t wrote anything about my....my....I don’t like the word battle because I
don’t feel I’m battling. I mean, of course, I struggle and of course I attempt
to overcome it, yet I just feel battle is too strong...to violent of a word.
But alas I digress.
I haven’t
spoken on PPD in quite a while is the point. So....we were discussing the
beginning point. Not the realizing I had PPD....I’ve wrote about that.
No, we
were discussing the what comes next. You see, once you admit you need help
(which is a very hard step) and see a doctor....it doesn’t just magically go
away. Oh...how I wish it did.
In all
reality, it becomes a daily struggle that you need to work through. You need to
learn new coping mechanisms and figure out what triggers you.
But you
have to begin somewhere....
