“Jaime and Doug I absolutely LOVE y’all! I can’t tell you how therapeutic listening to y’all talk is for me. Jaime please don’t feel bad about being having a rough and prolonged postpartum time. It took me 10 years to get help from my postpartum depression. My youngest (2 in January) truly saved me because it was finally when I got pregnant with him, despite having an IUD that I finally sought out help. It was the most debilitating time in my life. Between me feeling alone, my marriage falling apart, intensely drinking to numb the pain and then a second unplanned pregnancy I was spiraling! After having my first son at 20 years old my depression caused me to push any and all friends I had away. The shame I felt from being a young unmarried mom took over my life. So when you talk about not having a community I completely understand. I still to this day search for friends and it’s so hard when you have been stuck in a way of doing things and isolating myself. But hearing about how you consistently try and your journey with that, it honestly makes me want to continue to try. Thank you so much for being yourself, being raw and sharing your spiritual journey!”
