Book Cover & Preview Text
I was tired, restless, taking care of a 3 months old baby. Of course, I loved her and cherished every moment with her but something inside me was not right. I had difficulty coping with what life was sending me. I was blocked by something… was it love? Fear? Tiredness? I do not know but I was tired all the time, even after sleeping a full night or a 12 hours night. I could not get myself back on track, I could not get any energy, and I was drained by something, like something was sucking out energy out of me even before I received it. Now looking back, I know that the name of what was happening to me was depression. Why would a 30 years old woman who just gave birth to a gorgeous, healthy baby girl, happily married, and would be depressed?
