Oh Aimee! My heart goes out to you. I wish I lived closer and could come over and give you a hug and a day off from everything. That’s probably what you need the most. That a a ton of rest. I will be praying for you! Just so you know, I think you have such beautiful children and your blog encourages me so much. You are an amazing mommy and are doing an incredible job!

My experience retaught me that this too shall pass….to live just this minute….not to allow myself to even think beyond the moment I’m in, or else I’d go even crazier. And this sounds bad but I reminded myself that I probably wasn’t going to die….But I sure wondered what I was going to do! Just do this moment Aimee. God’s grace is in THIS moment. So sorry…I wish I could get my hands on that post partum thing and ring it’s neck for you! I’ll be praying.

Oh Aimee, My heart goes out to you, I dealt with Post Partum Depression with my two middle ones-I thought bad, but it was really bad with the twins. I went on HB Formula from Mountain Meadow Herbs. My dear husband says I am a differant person! I feel better and can think clearer. Just don’t wait 7 months like I did!! Will be praying for you!!Blessings~ Kristena

I had really bad PPD with our first, crashing at 3 months. Went on medication and stayed on until our 2nd was 16 months. This last time was a little scary, wondering if it would happen again, but God graciously helped me through the rough spots, and I did not go back on meds. I hate being dependent on a “happy pill”. I do think it’s a good idea to get on medication if you’re to the point of not being able to function. Ask for help. Being humble enough to admit you need it can be hard, but your sisters there can help to give you strength. Also, you might prayerfully consider an anointing. I used to feel like PPD or emotional health was one area God just couldn’t touch or didn’t care about–a lie I believed when I was feeling so miserable. Aimee, I will be lifting you and your family to the Father. He made you, knows you intimately, loves you infinitely, and cares for you tenderly. Remember He gently leads those that are with young. I pray that you will find rest, grace, strength, and joy in Him today!!
