Inspiration and hope

I wrote a blog about my life after witnessing suicide. It includes various PTSD triggers I worked through. It discusses bouts of mania and depression associated with bipolar 1 disorder as well as my experience with postpartum psychosis. It ends with my life today which is good and I'm stable. I have heard it gives people inspiration and hope. The link is suicideandptsd.blogspot.com

My Facebook newsfeed has seen quite a few articles about it being “more common than you think.” I’m fairly certain, though, I’ve heard that statement more than most: my psychiatrist warned me about it when I told him I planned to [...]

5 Destructive Myths About Postpartum Psychosis

Three days after giving birth to my daughter, I energetically went to my 6 a.m. spin class and had an intense workout. I had just given birth, but I felt like I could take on the world. This high quickly wore off, and I felt dead tired, yet I couldn’t sleep at night. My sleep [...]
