Now this could be a boring story...or it could be interesting. Not sure. It's my life, so I think it's boring.
Straight out of high school I met my husband, and got pregnant with my first child. Honestly, I can't remember if I was pulling at that time, but I think it wasn't a lot. There are good times and bad times.
So, we got married, moved, and then I found out I was pregnant again! My second baby was born almost exactly 2 years after the first!
Soon after the birth, my husband had to go away for work. He was gone for almost 6 months. During that time, I grew more and more depressed. My doctor said I had post pardum depression, and prescribed me Zoloft.
Wham-bam I felt 100% better! Although I couldn't loose the baby weight. I didn't pull for the about 8 months that I was on Zoloft. I stopped taking it due to marital dificulites. :)
About 7 months after my husband returned we prepared for another move. This time we were moving to Alaska! I was thrilled. I'd always wanted to go there.
So, after a long vacation of visiting family, and travleing we finally made it to the great state. We got our house and moved in.
And then...a little while after the big move, I found out I was pregnant once again! I was over-joyed as I was really trying this time! Baby #3 arrived 3 months after the first turned 4 years old. Right now, their 5, 3, and almost a year old. And they are the lights of my life.
Now, almost 3 years after moving up here, I'm currently seeing a LCSW (lisenced clinical social worker), and will start taking medicine for anxiety very soon. Very soon, because I have to wean the baby first!
As of today (6-07-02), and am 6 days pull free! And 5 days pick free! And this is without medication! Needless to say I am very proud of myself.
Although I am very proud, I know that there will be a set-back sometime down the line. And I will be prepared for it, and not let it tear me down. I will then just start again from day one, and try to make the times between pulls even longer than the last time.
In the mean time, I'll watch my hair grow out, and become beautifull again, and try to enjoy life to it's fullest. What else can I do?
