I’ve opened Pandora’s Box... a little

[Sunflowersandlight]

I haven’t written bc my thoughts have made me want to get tied of this page and delete everything the same day I joined. The same day I joined I told my husband what was going on with me. I later went into my postpartum visit and I finally talked to a therapist, I was given medication about my anxiety, because I found out I have obsessive thoughts, but I’m reluctant to start taking it. I also made an appointment to start our first official appointment. That night I was so emotionally overwhelmed that I fell asleep with my baby in the couch.

I posted this on another post, but I wanted to share it with you too. "In my twenties, when I started seeing a therapist, I went on medication. I remember that winter day in January vividly. It was the first time in 10 years I wasn't sleeping non-stop, I could actually smell the cold winter air, and I had enough energy to play in the snow with my three year old. I remember crying in therapy about how bittersweet that moment was. I felt I had gotten a piece of me back that was robbed from me in high school. I weaned off the medication a long time ago and no longer need it now that I'm well overall."

It may not seem like it right now but things will get better. Please try the medication. It can take awhile before you know if it will work. Please keep us posted.
