One of the big lies of a mental illness is one's own mind saying "you are the only one like this." When I had postpartum depression I was so thankful for the ladies at church who got me to the help I needed at the time. Now I am the old woman who tells others they can come to me and not be judged, because I have been there--in the abyss--and I survived.
Thank you so much for sharing this & yes,when one has been through it, you tend to think you're the "only one" & the mind is a tricky thing. I am glad you had the support during that time. It makes all the difference in the world. ♥️♥️
