When I had my son, I went through postpartum depression. I did not share with anyone. I felt ashamed about how I felt. I should have joined a group or something but I did not even leave the apartment. It was a very lonely and sad place to be. Sending you love and hugs.
Barbara, thank you for sharing that here. It's such a tender time and I remember those feelings of unexplainable sadness and isolation after child birth. You were supposed to be happy, but why did everything feel terrible? Emotions are things we all have and yet somehow society deemed certain emotions "bad" and others "good". Sad is just sad. It's human. It's real. It's allowed. There's nothing wrong with sad. Love you so much and thank you for being here with me.
Your writing makes me laugh out loud and cry and connect all at once. You’re a true gem. Kudos to Peter for putting in the work, and kudos to you for the same (even though you’re already perfect!). Happy and healthy new year to you all!!!! 🤗❤️😘
Artists like you puke their souls out onto public displays, and it is hard and it is gross and it is scary and it is altogether selfish and selfless, and that beautiful combination thereof makes all of us who get to gawp at it feel a little (or a lot) less lonely and more loved. Thank you for this blog and all that you do. Puke on. ❤️

Love you so much. I feel your love even if I don't get to see you half as much as I'd like to.
Right back at ya!

Love you soul sister. Thank you for holding my hair back while I puke all over the place. You are one of the really truly bad ass good ones.
You don't need to be alone. But it is hard to share when things feel bad.
It is really hard to share hard things when they feel bad but every time I do, I feel better.
