The Single Mom's Saga......

A few things first.

This is my blog, something which I have started because I love to write. If I write something, it's not because I want to prove someone wrong and show myself as right, it is only because there are many out there who cannot express their thoughts due to various reasons. I write because I know I may be representing many women out there who go through the same experiences which I am going through.

It is definitely a personal blog and everything is non-fiction and nothing is made up for the sake of it. If you can read and feel it, cool, if not please do not cook up stories to those who do not understand my writing or cannot understand English.

 

Now, starting off from where I left things yesterday. I went through something called Postpartum Depression. It is not a disease and it is also not permanent. It is fluctuation of one's mood due to the overwhelming experience of becoming a mother. 

I have seen people not understanding the concept of depression. They sideline it by saying that it is only the state of mind. Yes, exactly, it is a state of mind indeed. I was juggling with a lot of things myself. My weight gain, unemployment, insecurities because of going through a C-section and not a normal delivery(which was considered a crime for many women who have had only normal deliveries). I had a thousand thoughts exploding in my mind every minute. I needed my husband the most at that time. I was 1600 KMS away from him and longed for his hug and his usual way of saying that I was a strong woman and that this phase shall pass. 

I was going through sleepless nights, restricted diet and I was looking like i was aging every second. This was not my illness, it was only a phase and I came out of it strong and beautiful. There is a lot of negativity around you. Yes, and they are in your own home, the people who spread negativity. I had to stop complaining of them and had to shield myself so that I could set an example for my daughter.

To be contd.
