Introduce Yourself (Example Post

Hello my name is Melissa and I have postpartum depression. I feel the need to discuss my journey through postpartum depression so I help others who may also struggle with depression.

Before I get into that let me give you a little background information. I’m 32 years old I had my first child this year. I struggled to get pregnant for almost two years before conceiving. My husband and I have been married 10 years this August. That’s a long time to wait before having a child huh? Well I think so to but that’s a story for another day. All my life I have dreamed of being a mommy, in life that’s my only true desire so when I found out I was pregnant I couldn’t have been more thrilled. As my pregnancy progressed I started to lose interest in things that meant the most to me.

I stopped going to church, I gave up learning to play piano, I quit singing, I didn’t want to read. All these things were important to me. I just thought I was tired and couldn’t focus due to the excitement. Little did I know depression was taking over.
