Postpartum Depression (PPD), it’s like a curse word to me. When I found out I was pregnant, I was extremely anxious especially after our previous loss.

Without the option of getting off. That’s what I feel like right now. I just gave birth two weeks ago, and surprisingly, I am adjusting pretty well. It’s everything else that has my head spinning! Just because you have a baby doesn’t mean life slows down so you can keep up. I wish! Within the…

I got married when I was 23 years old. Despite how much I swore nothing would change; many things did. I noticed that my friends who didn’t have a man or a boyfriend or husband started distancing themselves. Instead of getting all in my feelings, I asked them what was up with the plague treatment.…
