Can You Handle This?

    As a mother of a 3 year old and a 4 month old, I'd say I've gone through quite a bit already as a mother & wife. I know there are many women out there who have gone through PPD with one or maybe after all their pregnancies. But for any mother who has gone through that, how scared were you? You are scared for your child, or children but you're also scared of yourself. For myself I got to the scariest part of that PPD. But when I got the PPD I opened a whole can of worms. Finding out that I had also had a Major Depression & Bi-Polar Disorder. Try not to judge with those names, cause I was on your side before. Hearing those makes you think of a worst case of those disorders. Any mother out there who has any kind of illness, weather it's mental or physical can tell you that it takes a major toll on you as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and or girlfriend.
   I always thought the way that I was made me a bad mother because I would get into these moods of not wanting to be around my children. I would end up feeling sorry for myself and my girls because what mother wouldn't want to be with her kids. I ended up feeling guilty. But this is only a smidget of my entire story. I could  really write this blog, and wether people read it is up to them but I am pretty sure other mothers could understand or even relate.
    So stay tuned and be ready.
