Yay! I still have readers!
I was "officially" diagnosed with post- partum on thursday by a professional. it was interesting that as part of my graduate work I studied depression and the spiritual and physical factors that play into it and what a life altering and debilitating mental illness it can be. I am starting on meds on Monday so we will see how that goes! I wish they had some way to measure serotonin levels.. that would be so great..then there would be no question about the physicality of it and if in fact meds actually correct the problem..

I have decided to start an off-shoot blog dedicated to my writing. I have so many pieces I would love to put out there and I don't think my family blog is the place to do it...So here it is! There will be things i post on here from years ago and some new pieces. This is where you will truly get to see a part of who I am. DISCLAIMER: Alot of my writings will be very raw..some of it may suprise or shock you and thats fine.If it offends you then you can stay on my other blog. My life experiences have been raw and sometimes brutal and my writing reflects that truth. Whats the point of writing if you can't express your life story?Most of my writing is about collective life experiences I have had and I will probably post excerpts from my memoir.If you have been a part of my life or assume I am writing about you..I am probably not!..It's a psychological principle- don't read yourself into it!For example if I were to go off on a tirade about how it frustrated me when people make fun of my vegeterianism or ask questions like "well, do you eat chicken?" and you have at some point asked me that question. Please don't feel that piece is about you! I have probably had that question asked in 100 different ways by 100 different people in my life time!Like I said..its about the collective expereince. I pray my writing will bless you, inspire you, make you laugh and cry, make you mad, make you think, make you want to change, but most importantly will make you fall more in love with My Lord and Savior whose name is Jesus.

Oh Lindsay, I am so sorry that you are feeling down. Please know that you can come to me whenever. As a fellow new mom I can relate to your feelings and have wondered from time to time if I am also battling an emotional or spirtual battle. I will be praying for you and complete healing!! I think the world of you and your family. There are not many people in this world like you Lindsay and I am so blessed to be able to call you my friend. (( hugs )) Brittan
Oh, Lindsay, I had no idea. Maybe you're starting to feel better because I sure couldn't tell on Thursday. I had a touch of the post-partum depression, too, after Ben. I'll be praying for you!
hey girl. I don't think I know you but came across your blog somehow on this crazy internet. I had the baby blues, which dragged into something more serious. I had to use medication, which I'm still using today. I don't feel guilty about it, and believe God has His hand on it all. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone..:)
