Now that was <<<<<weird>>>>>

I'd have to read more. I had severe post-partum depression on top of everything else. Had me sitting in the hospital with a security guard waiting to frisk me after going through my stuff --- I appropriately freaked out and left. Had my aunt fly out to stay for a couple weeks.

With that said, I will tell you, all I wanted to do was sleep. And I did. There was just no stopping me. Even with the kids. My husband took time off work and his mom helped out. I was USELESS. I did not want to be awake what-so-ever. I could not WAIT to get into bed and disappear.

This is interesting because many may think that post-partum depression comes from lack of sleep. Not in my case.

Thanks for the read!
