And its okay if you have one too.
I used to think that I didn’t need counseling, that my mental health was… what? I never talked about mental health. I didn’t know what it was. Welcome to the club, right?
Well, now that I am suffering from the aftermath of postpartum psychosis, bipolar affect, shock, and the trauma of losing my children for three months I am acutely aware of how important mental health is, how difficult it is to maintain, and how being open about it with a counselor can help.
So, if you have a counselor (that you see via the internet these days) know that you are not alone and that its a good thing to seek help for your mental health. Its step one, in fact, and arguably the most important step.
Stay safe out there. And thank your counselor.
i think there is an old saying which goes something like this…for you to get better. you first have to admit you have a problem.
keep going forward and sending you positive vibes

Hi there! My name is Dyane Harwood and I came across your blog because I have postpartum bipolar disorder. That’s awesome about your counselor; my counselor Ina was absolutely essential when I was acutely sick, and then later on as well.
I have two girls, and I’m the author of “Birth of a New Brain–Healing from Postpartum Bipolar Disorder.” If you’d like a complimentary PDF copy of my book for yourself (and/or for your followers) please feel free to email me: dyane@baymoon.com
Thanks for raising awareness about the importance of counselors and postpartum mood disorders in general, & take care! 🌈🌻
