I haven't spoke in over two months at any mom's groups or community groups. I haven't been thinking about what happen to me almost three years ago. I believe that is a good thing and a bad thing.
Good, in the way that I have been able to truly live in the moment with my son. No pain, just happiness. And of course, frustration from time to time, but mostly love.
If I don't smile enough for him, he will say, "Mommy, be Happy" I love hearing him say that. I love hearing him say, "Mommy, the sun said 'HI' to me!" I still look at him in the rear view mirror as if he is still a baby. And I realize, he still is a baby, much bigger now, but he will always be my baby. He is the sweetest thing, I truly love looking at his bright blue eyes as they take in everything around him. Such a beautiful thing to watch every day, as he discovers life.
Not SPEAking is bad, when I can't tell those women who may be suffering, that this to will happen for them.
With Love, Natalie
About Me
- Natalie Dombrowski
- I am a PPD survivor. I was diagnosed and hospitalized with postpartum depression and anxiety disorder at five weeks postpartum. I am so thankful that I am here today able to speak and let everyone know that this is a real illness and it needs to be talked about. I can honestly say, that having a child is one of life's greatest gifts; however, it didn't happen for me until I was better. It may take some time for new mothers to get to that point. If they become ill from PPD or any of the six different types of it, it will take a lot longer for them to feel that way. If left untreated the illness can and does get worse, sometimes a new mother can feel so hopeless that they may not even want to be here. I felt that way & I couldnt even see past the next day. Thankfully I was treated and now I can share my story with all... Back to You is my story about my battle with PPD. You can read it and pass it on to more women everywhere...
