Dear Ladies.

After many years of trying to find answers to my problems, I now realise I have had PPP on 3 occasions, once after my daughter, my son and after a miscarriage with my new husband. The psychosis after my daughter was born was brought on by my GP giving me antidepressants. They sent me into psychosis. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar/PTSD, and now am reading all I can on the subjects.

My family dynamics have a lot to do with my diagnosis, such as narcissistic parents, being abused from the age of 7-12 and abusive partners. I am not going to pursue the health authority again as I believe they have done all they can to help me.

I fully intend bringing my abusers to justice.

I will keep you posted. XX

Hello Poulson,

thank you for keeping us up-dated.

I hope you can have a new beginning, after all you struggles.

Despite PPP, PTS and BP1 I do believe those/my labels do not signify

our path and choices of life. Of course the past has affected who we are.

I do not ignore what has happened in the past, but extract the positive

aspects, which has rejuvenated and enhanced my quality of life.

Please, do take care of yourself.

Not what you're looking for?
