I spoke in the first
installment of Conquering
PPD about step one of my
healing process. I spoke about finding
the shift. This means that I searched myself and my life for that time in
which my outlook on life changed. When did I go from being positive to negative?
Please....I really encourage you to go back and read it!
I don’t want to bore you with a
thousand and two details....because God knows I will. So, I’ve written and
rewritten this next post probably 30 times! ;-) It’s also difficult not to
intermingle the steps.
Each step was significant for
me and came at separate times, but when looking back they over lap so
tremendously that it is hard not to forecast to the next post! So bare with me
if I see a little jumbled!
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....
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and by no means am I a psychiatric professional. I do not attempt to in any way claim expertise on the matter or suggest that a person use my words as a means of therapy. This is merely my experience and what helped me.
