Natural Medication

I heard so much about St. Johns Wort I decided to give it a

go rather than take anti depressants. It didn't take

long to realize that St. Johns Wort was

only a band aid for me and I was still suffering severe

bouts of depression.

My third diagnosis

 

My negligence has seen me crumble. It is now three years

since I was first diagnosed with Post Natal Depression.

Only NOW I have finally admitted 'yes' I do have a

problem and I must stop playing doctor. I have been

prescribed Zoloft once again, but this time I am going to

stick with it and allow my doctor to guide me and pull me

through this. It's horrible when I see how I have affected

my family with all this.

This time I am stuck in depression so bad that I have more

bad days then good and I can't cope with it. This time though

I know I will pull through it. These have been the

hardest years of my life and I blatantly refuse to keep going

through this personal trauma. This is the first time I have

seen light at the end of the tunnel and each day I get

closer to it.

If I have helped one person with my story, it was worth

every minute, every hour I put into creating this site.

 

I thank God that I never hurt my children

 

If you are going through something similar to myself or

have perhaps already been there, I would love to hear from you.

Please email me.

 

Just one more thing. Ladies, please don't forget men suffer

Post Natal Depression too and we must keep an eye on

them too.
