This being my first post, and primarily because I’ve spent so much time trying to figure out all this blog set-up stuff, my post will probably be a little short.  However, no matter how insignificant this may seem, do not take this lightly. 

I have to believe that I am not the only one that has felt this way, but while at my Postpartum depression support group this past Monday I remembered 3 VERY important points that are true:

1. Its not your fault.   Its not because of anything genetic from you.
2. You did not cause it.  No matter what you did, you did not and can not cause this.
3. It WILL get better.  If you keep working towards getting better.  Talk to your healthcare team and counselors and take any medications needed.  IT WILL GET BETTER !!

We are stressing those to the mothers in our support group but no one told me that.  I had to figure them out for myself, maybe that made me stronger for having to work through it myself, but thats the point of our support group and thats the point of this blog, for you to find the help and support you need so that you don’t have to go through this alone. 

I want to strongly encourage any of you who have had experience with this to offer your advice and experiences on this discussion.  There are a lot of women out there that could use your help and experience, they need to know that they are not alone and that these feelings have been felt by many of us.

Talk to you soon,

Meredith
