My name is Jill. I am the wife of a wonderful husband and the mother of a beautiful 2 1/2 year old little girl (and a mom to two dogs as well). I started this blog for the simple reason that I wanted to help moms that have been or are in my position.
Four months ago, I suffered what I can only describe as a mental breakdown. One evening, I suddenly experienced what I can honestly say was one of the worst nights of my life. In the blink of an eye, a horrible panic attack overcame me. I had been on an antidepressant for post-partum depression. I was doing fine until I stopped taking it for a mere four days. After that, all hell broke loose.
The above was just the beginning of my experience. I plan on continuing to write about my journey, although because ther is so much to tell, it will have to be little by little. Through new medication, therapy, proactive and holistic approaches I have used and a lot of support from family and friends, I am getting better. As I mentioned before, the sole purpose of beginning this blog is to help and perhaps unite other mothers who know what I have been through. It's a tough and sometimes embarrassing topic, but I am willing to share, and I hope others out there will as well.
