Hey pretty,
I read your confession, and I usually don't post from work, but I wanted to let you know that I understand what it's like to not want to use anti-depressants to get through depression. I weaned myself off of them before getting pregnant, and stayed off the entire pregnancy, however when PPD hit it was too much for me.
My therapist and I came up with a whole bunch of ways to deal with depression without medication, I can send them to you on facebook if you want.
I wish we lived closer so I could come over and hug you and just be there for you. Please don't ever feel like you can't tell us anything, we're here for you.

Thanks Mo
I actually met with a gf of mine who had PPD after her first child, last week. We are very similar in personalities and we talked for a bit about how she felt, how I feel etc... and while its different some of the anxiety is the same. Afterwards, I left and had some better self reflection and made some of my own "steps" towards getting passed it... its just only been a week though, not going to happen overnight. Eitherway, I'd love too see your steps too, I'm always open to suggestions. I'm only against medicine, bc I know I can get pass this on my own, that its only temporary. I also would like to continue TTC and I dont want to be on any drugs if doing that.
My biggest issue is stems from being out of control. I was out of control of this happening to me and being the control freak I am, I think that's where most of the problems are coming from. I'm "okay" with what happened, I mean I'm still sad, but I have life in perspective and know that there are many things to be grateful for. I think its just whatever is down there causing the anxiety is in turn snowballing into this pile of sadness because I can't control these symptoms.
I know I can share things here, sometimes its just hard because I feel like I'm debbie downer all.the.time. I don't want to take away from the all the joyous things other people are experiencing...
