1. We talked about triggers during #ppdchat on Monday. It was well timed because this week was full of them for lots of us ppd mamas.
2. I had a big fat anxiety attack on Tuesday but I managed to persevere and not give into the terror overwhelming me.
3. Thursday I read a news article that I shouldn’t have and ended up losing it for a little bit. Thank you to Lauren who called me and talked me down.
4. Once I calmed, I wrote this post about getting help for postpartum depression and having a plan. It got featured on http://www.postpartumprogress.com/ as a Warrior Mom post.
5. I also did a guest post over at Motherhood Unadorned about my parenting choices.
6. I made a blueberry pie today. That may not sound like much, but last year, when the postpartum anxiety was at it’s highest, I made a blueberry pie with my oldest. It was a desperate attempt to survive a particularly painful day. I cried a lot while we made that pie. I was a little worried that making one today would flood me with too many memories, but it didn’t. It was just fun.
7. All in all, this week was full of wins!
