Hello there,

I suffered from antepartum depression (during pregnancy) with my first child and I'm going through it again. Your story really hit home. I have the same feelings, anxiety, crying spells, self harming, and thoughts of wanting to die. Just for a few days! I cannot believe you made it so long feeling the way you do. You're very brave. You really are. But I'm glad you've gotten help. And it will get better. I promise. Hang in there. And lean on your partner. This will bring your little family closer together in the end.

These are the things I tell myself as well. I'm only a few days into this episode and I know I have a few weeks to go until I feel better. But I will. I will. I will. I have to for my beautiful little boy and my loving husband.

Hang in there. You're fabulous. Thank you for posting.
