Post-natal depression

[ailbhe]

Don't be strong, you mothers.
Scream for help. Be weak.
There in the strength of others
You will find the peace you seek.
Don't be strong, you mothers.
Cry out, cry long, cry loud -
Don't stand all alone with your baby
Weeping unheard in the crowd.
Don't be strong, you mothers.
Don't waste your strength on this.
Reach out, let others help you.
That's what they want. It is.

I have a psychiatrist's appointment tomorrow.

Because right at the moment, all the people who deal with my failures of cope and coherence are consenting adults.

And ...


... crying now.

Bravo! Belissimo! (sp?)

May I quote this? I have several people I believe it may help.

I would love to email this to a friend. Is that ok? I will quote you properly.

Thank you.
