Zoloft....Update!

I'm writing this post for all the women out there who having a hard time or going through some postpartum depression issues. I'm 27 years old and my third baby is now a little over a month old. I was 18 when I had my first son and I had no signs of any kind of depression. I had my second Son at 24 and he will be turning 2 in July. After him I showed many signs of depression but never did anything to help myself because I didn't want any medication and figured I could do it on my own. I was wrong!

After having my Babygirl I have noticed the signs of depression getting stronger and more frequent. I have no motivation to clean my house or shower or sometimes even take care of my kids... It started to get to where I was not enjoying anything! I didn't enjoy time with my spouse I didn't enjoy time with my children I didn't enjoy being by myself I didn't enjoy cooking or cleaning.....nothing!

How much my doctor yesterday and she said that as we get older and the more children we have sometimes postpartum depression can be worse with each child. She also explained to me that it's not anything we are in control of two chemical imbalance of our hormones and all we can do for it is try to get ourselves back to normal and sometimes this requires medication.

My spouse gave me a hug this morning I told him I was going to miss him while he was at work... He told me that he's missed me for a while now and can't wait to have me back to normal. Hearing him say that made it real, and even if it does take medication I need to back to normal for my family and for myself.

The Journey Begins.....

Update* with only one week of taking Zoloft I already feel like ike my old self again! I am happy! I'm enjoying my time with my babies and my SO and I'm enjoying my life in general again. I have to say I was skeptical about the meds but I needed to do what was best for me and for my family.... I have to say, its good to be back!

And thank you ladies for your support!
