I Have a Confession

I want to rewind back to when it was just me and my husband. No baby, no dog, no nothing. I wish I could go back to then and make different decisions that would mean we aren't arguing constantly and we don't have a special needs baby.

I am SO BORED everyday and I've got so fat and disgusting. Everything I say is stupid or wrong or inappropriate. I've lost control.

It's a bad confession, but I have postnatal depression and currently it's all I can think about.

I was mad as a hatter after my daughter's birth - not the same way, but mad all the same.

Depression tries to persuade you things will always be the way they are at this moment. They won't.

Hang on to hope and grab every outreached hand until you're back on your feet - and you will be.
