I wanted to comment to at least said I read this. I really don't know what to say (other than you totally made me tear up at one point) -- but I'm so glad that you managed to find someone as wonderful as he is. In talking with one of my best friends the other day, he and I agreed that similarities are important, but if you're too similar you run out of things to talk about. I'm very glad you found who and what you needed. And, well, speaking as the girl who is still all on her lonesome and has been for 25 years now... it gives me a little bit of hope.

Thanks :) No need to say anything...just felt like sharing.

We're similar in lifestyle, I think, with regard to how we live our lives and what we want for the future, which is important, when you're planning a future TOGETHER, but with regard to personality, we're night and day. He balances me, though, calms me.

You'll find someone, and probably completely unexpectedly.

<3 back -- promise we'll have lots of fun together at Gally

OH wow. You described a panic attack perfectly. I could feel how you were feeling. I had panic attacks after our child was born and they are AWFUL. I didn't want to go on medication because I was breast feeding so I kept everything to myself...the only people I confided in were my best friend (via e-mail) and my hubs. I never told my parents. Brave of you to tell them and to go to see a MD...so very brave.

and yet, in all that you found your husband...that is by far the best part of the story...so very good that you found him and that he loves you for who you are and accepts you for who you are and balances you out. That is truly a beautiful story. *HUGS*

You know, I feel like every time I try to describe it, it just comes out sounding trite. I have no way to put into words the weight of it.

I'm worried about the whole having a kid thing. I think post-partum depression sounds really terrifying, and it is complex because of the whole issue of medication while nursing (or for me, even while pregnant.) That makes it something I won't deal with for several years.

WEll I thought you did a good job of explaining it.

I can understand that. I never had post-partum depression but I had panic attacks afterwards. *HUGS*
