I think I was 12 years old or so when I was diagnosed with depression. I've battled years of it. I've suffered with the anxiety, the self harming and suicidal thoughts. I still now suffer with depression. I have my really bad days, my bad days but also my better days. I've tried counselling in the past but I'm starting all over again in November. I have taken so many anti-depressants throughout my life so far that I can't even remember all the names of them anymore. I'm on them again now. I've taken time off work to help heal me. I have post natal depression. I have post natal depression. There I have said it. At times I do feel ashamed of my mental illness because it is so hard to admit it. To admit that I am now mother to the most amazing baby girl, the most amazing thing to ever happen to me and yet I can't be happy all the time. I am moving on from shame to fear. But realise that I have been brave. With help I've got help and I still have a way to go but it's not over, I'm not giving up yet. I will keep fighting and be the best person, the best mother I can be -- yes even with depression.

his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
