I am happy to see that you're taking the first steps towards addressing what is happening and getting better. <br /><br />I read this article (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lauren-lyons/online-persona_b_3430492.html) shortly after I read your post this morning, and thought about how hard it can be for all of us to see our lives and others' lives through the filter of what we choose to post online. Good for you for being willing to post the tough stuff.<br /><br />Know that I'm sending positive thoughts your way.<br /><br />XO, maggieMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442338921442106308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967154979755361370.post-37182724059192438182013-06-12T20:44:36.477-07:002013-06-12T20:44:36.477-07:00Thanks for your words, Amy.

I know that hormones can "wreck havoc" as you say, as my mom has shared some interesting experiences with menopause. This is my first attempt to be open with this, and am so encouraged by the responses I've had from my friends, and online community. Thank you again for taking the time to comment. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432002006130181007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967154979755361370.post-7387264490680635102013-06-12T13:32:30.532-07:002013-06-12T13:32:30.532-07:00I don't know if it helps to tell you that I kn...I don't know if it helps to tell you that I know how you feel, but I know how you feel. I did not seek help for what I am sure was depression - for whatever reason - after my son was born and looking back I wish I would have. Now that you are no longer breastfeeding, I would highly encourage you as someone who has been there to talk to your doctor. Hormones can really wreak havoc on a person especially after child birth and sometimes you need a little something to regulate yourself back to "you." Look at it this way - if you had high blood pressure, you'd see a doc. This is no different. Trust me. You can talk to everyone and anyone you can, go to the gym, eat right and have the support of your hubby and all those things are amazingly wonderful. But if that isn't doing the trick, just check in with the doc. I wish you nothing but the best - from a fellow blogger. :) Amy Talcotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568912662790482455noreply@blogger.com
