Well, there it is, the last little pink pill. You may remember me talking about my journey with postpartum in this post a few months ago. About three weeks after Graham was born I started some anti-depressant medication. At first I was shy to talk about it, but not anymore! This medication was a life saver....a serious life saver! About a week after I started taking it, I could tell a difference. My moods were better, I didn't cry as often, and I felt much more at ease with Graham. Slowly, I've been weaning myself off the medication and tonight, I'll take my last pill. Of course I'm nervous about it, but I feel like it's time. I've only been taking half a pill every other day for some time now. So, your prayers are appreciated as I end the medication and see what my body does on it's own. I'm more excited to know that I finally feel like me...actually a better version me than I did 6 months ago. But, I know that if something does get out of whack, I can go back on the medication at anytime.
So, see ya later little pink pills. I hope it's the end of our relationship! You were good to me, though :).

I'm glad to see that last little pink pill too! But I also know what a life saver they were to you. My heart broke for you those first few weeks of Graham's life but I saw the change to your system the pills brought about. I also saw the confidence you had once your system seemed to get back on track. I hope you don't have to ever go back on them but now we know what to do for you if you ever do need them again. I love you and your honesty to share your heart.
You are such an encouragement to so many. I appreciate your honesty & just being real. I'm so glad you are doing so well & that you were brave enough to seek help when times were tough. You'll touch so many lives with your story! Love ya Kat & way to go!
You are so brave and beautiful. Thanks for sharing your story- I can only imagine all the lives it has touched- including mine:).
