Coming to terms.

[Poulson]

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.
