She has been having a very rough time. She went to the hospital this morning and they told her she is going through a very bad case of postpartum depression. She can't sleep or eat and she is suffering from anxiety. They gave her sleeping pills and made appointments to get her help. She said, "Mom, how do you know so much? They said almost word for word what you have been saying to me all along." I just told her I didn't get to 62 years of age without learning things. She is a lot better now and she is coming to my house to sleep. major-mark63, AthenA, babyback and 15 others 12 3 3

She belongs to 2 mom groups on facebook. She told me once she is over this she is going to be sharing her story with them. She said she does not want any future mother to feel they going through the same as her alone. She has thanked me many times for being there for her when she needed me. I told her that's what moms do. No matter how old the children are their moms will will always be there for them no matter what. loaderXI, BlackRose, AthenA and 2 others 4 1

The baby has slept for 7 hours for the last 3 nights. The cries have stopped. My daughter still has issues though and is getting help for them. I hugged her and told her how proud I am of her that she has managed to get through one of the most intense stages a new parent can experience. I told her to pat herself on the back for a job well done. WeednFeed 1

She had me running all over town getting her this and that and we were in a bad financial state as well. I look back now and she has gone on to other things but that baby is the only one of the three that wants to come by everyday. BTW I write about the experiences I have with depression and have even shared it here a time or two. I found out there were a lot of young people here that was suffering from it as well and had no idea what it was. Sharing has some great results so keep encouraging her to share with whom ever she feels to. Angelz 1 Awards
