Thanks for the feedback, Mariner. The more honest we can be to each other as mothers the better off we’ll all be.

After I had my son, I was completely drained for about 5 years. I didn’t know I was depressed. And when I complained to my doctor that I had less than no energy, she blew it off. I was depressed and my thyroid was low. It wasn’t until I had done energy work and some of the depression lifted, that I was able to see, and able to switch doctors to someone who now takes me seriously.

Yeah, and that lying thing- I hate to lie. Even when answering the polite, “Hi. How are you?” when I feel like screaming and totally breaking down.

Kudos to you for putting it out there- how so many of us feel. And kudos to you for getting help and doing the work to fill yourself back up. It’s so very important.

I completely understand the facade to make yourself seem ok – in a lot of ways, for me, the facade is for myself as much as anyone else. If I admit I’m not ok, then I’m REALLY not ok… as an SPD/PDD-NOS mom I don’t have time to be not ok. thank you for being vulnerable. Thank you for being honest. Have you read any of Brene Brown’s work? You should.
