My son has sensory processing disorder.. I have PPD.. I had it after I had him.. Now I have it…
My son has sensory processing disorder.. I have PPD.. I had it after I had him.. Now I have it again.. I climbed into bed when my boyfriend got home for just a nap and break.. As I'm drifting off I feel the bed sink just a tiny bit.. I roll over (while still under the blanket) made eye contact with my son.. He didn't ask how I was or what was wrong. I wasn't even crying just enjoying the quiet and trying to sneak in a nap.. Then the most shocking thing came out of his mouth... He put his arm around me like I do with him to comfort him during an episode and just said "being under the blankets helps me too when it's too much" he has no idea my situation.. I force a smile for him.. I choke back tears and kiss my baby girl while she eats.. I just don't want them to see me like this.. But here my son who has a disorder he's struggling with to understand himself and recognize his own feelings is picking up on mine.. I just grabbed him and we laid under the blankets together for I don't even know how long and just cuddled.. I eventually fell asleep and he slipped out to watch tv.. I have the best kids in the world!! I'm also getting help for my PPD and I'm not ashamed of it.. If you have any kind of depression do NOT hesitate o get help!! My son taught me today You're never alone either.. Sometimes the it's the one you least expect that you can relate with!!!

Awwww. That's really sweet that he was there for you through that! That's cool that you can both support each other going through emotional times like that. We all have off days. I hope your night gets better.
