I hesitated to fill the prescription... I tried my usual holistic health approaches, from tea to cold baths to exercise, but nothing worked. That's when I knew I needed to fill the prescription, for Galileo. My daughter needed me to be present for her. A few weeks later I filled the script.
About two weeks after that, I bent over Galileo's bassinet in the morning and felt a genuine smile on my face. I didn't have to remind myself to smile at her. That's when I knew things were getting better.
Now, I feel like being Mama is my identity. Everything else I do comes from that core - including sharing my story.
Moms need help, but even the most prepared can still be hit by postpartum depression. I want others to know they are not alone.
