In this episode:

  • I was of the mindset that if you were going to have any sort of PPD that you would experience it immediately, but that's a MYTH
  • When Miles was about 4 months old I decided I needed to get help because I had been experiencing so many things that weren't normal for me
  • I started having more bad days than good so that's when I realized I needed to talk to my doctor and get on medication
  • I wanted to "cure" myself without medication and the fact that I had to resort to that almost made me feel OUT OF CONTROL
  • Asking for help takes STRENGTH
  • If you're in the military speak with your key spouses, unit doctors, or another spouse in the squadron to see what resources are available
  • Resources I took advantage of

Mantra: There is no such thing as a perfect mom, but I am the perfect mom for my child.
