Post Natal Depression and other things.......

Sounds like a heavy heading and I don't mean to but I am so fed up with feeling like I do. As you know I got a higher dose the other day and I know that it will not have kicked in yet but man this sucks!!

On other notes, Mabel is doing really well and I was treated to a day with just the girlies as my good friend J took Bubbs and her children to the park and then came here to meet Mabel and catch up after her holiday. It was lovely to see her and the kids and Mabel loved meeting them too, she was ever so good. Bubbs went back to theirs for a sleepover..he literally ran out the house when J asked him without even a kiss for me! The girlies are so much fun on their own that sounds like I am saying that I don't enjoy Bubbs, I'm not at all but they are SO different when he is not around. They played outside this afternoon for at least half an hour by themselves without any fighting and were really having fun. Thanks for that Jx

Did a massive pile of ironing while Hubby went out for training run this evening it seemed to take hours but I am sure it wasn't that bad. Don't have much else to say tonight so I'm off to bed

***HUGS***

You do know that even though all of your bloggy friends have never actually met you (well... except for your mom and sister), we are HERE to listen. I don't have the words to say or any pearls of wisdom. Just a big ol' HUG!

We can only do our best, day-to-day. Do not worry about tomorrow!

As someone who does know you personally...from what I know about you babe, you are an amazing mother (of 3 including twins - who can do THAT?!), a good wife, a fantastic friend, a hard worker, and a daughter of The King. Please please please be assured of love, support, and prayers. I pray that God will reveal Himself to you through this and that He can be glorified through your situation and healing. Much love xxxx

Hope you start to feel better soon - both me and my wife have sufered from depression on and off, and I know she is particularly worried about the prospect of PND when our baby is born. For me, it is a definite reason to live on...

God loves you so much as you know and He will grow beauty from this dank and dreary time. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. I've walked a similar journey. It is hard to do, but my friend, you are covered in grace and I know you show it to others...please do try to show it to yourself.

I love you.

Big {HUGS} to you Vix! I hope you get to feeling better soon!
I suffered from major depression back when Hubby and I lived in England. It was horrible to go through.
I did just fine after having my first two babies, but with #3, I had a horribly depressed first week postnatal. It was insane and I thank God it only lasted a week. I think I would've melted into the floor if it had continued on.
You are a great mum and it sounds like your Bill is a wonderful hubby. I am glad he is there for you and supports you through this.

Depression is a very tough thing to go through ~I will be praying for you!!!

(When I am having a hard time I like to read through 2 Corinthians 1 . . Paul basically says when we are depressed that God may be using that time to make us put our trust in Him~ also so we can be an encouragement to someone else who is going through a hard time in the future)
