Downward spiralling

I'm feeling really low at the moment. I know that I haven't been around lately. I was feeling pretty good there for awhile, but suddenly it feels like there has been a big downward shift in my mood. Last week I spoke openly about the birth of my son and the post partum psychosis that I suffered from. I am not sure if this has led to the downward spiralling of my mood. Maybe I was just taking for granted the fact that I felt so good, now I am terrified of what is to come. Or perhaps I still haven't gotten over the whole ordeal even though I like to think that I have. I'm not sure how to move on from where I am at the moment.
Thanks for reading and I hope you are feeling better than I am.....

Sometimes going back over some of the old stuff brings things back up again... but it is not happening all over again... it is just the body and mind adjusting to the memory and reminding you it has been a rough ride but you are now safe... it will not be as bad or as deep as the psychosis and it too shall pass... hold on...

take care

Cate is right - retelling a story/experience can bring up feelings we don't know how to control or even exist. Let the feelings out and experience them - nothing to be ashamed of about having feelings and letting them out. Just don't let them control you.

Go Riles!!!
