Life hasn’t always been a picnic. When I was in my early 20's I gave birth to my first child. It was an incredibly difficult delivery and I came away from the experience with severe postpartum suicidal depression.
Fortunately I had a very stable and mature husband who stood by my side. There were many times that he left work to come home when I was having an emotional breakdown.
I desperately tried to get help.
I endured a humiliating physical and spent $300 on an endocrinologist who told me I was fine at a time in my life when I didn't have medical insurance or extra money. He was expecting me to celebrate but I sat there and cried.
I was intuitively aware that there was something seriously wrong. He referred me to a psychiatrist who sent me home with a prescription for valium. The valium knocked me out so I wasn't in a position to take care of myself or a newborn baby.
During that 2 year phase following childbirth I couldn't find anyone who could help me and my closest friends and family members didn't know what to do.
I now understand how it's possible for a woman to 'eliminate' her own children. It isn't that she doesn't love her children. The problem is that she isn't healthy enough to handle the overwhelming responsibilities that go along with parenting. A mother doesn't have the option or the luxury of giving 2 weeks notice if she can‘t handle her job. It also isn't an issue of seeing her glass being half empty if the health issue exists on a physical level such as hormone imbalance that leads to mental instability.
I came to a point of desperation where I chose to fast and pray for 3 days and 3 nights. I didn't know what to do but I did have a solid testimony of the power of prayer. After doing that I naturally bumped into a woman who felt inspired to give me information about a chiropractor who was using kinesiology in his practice.
During the first visit the chiropractor was able to determine that I endured serious damage to my tail bone area during childbirth. He was able to address that issue so I was completely functional and employed within 2 weeks of my office visit. That was the beginning of me feeling passionate about maintaining my own vehicle and assisting other people as they choose to improve their health. Sometimes it’s through a ‘tough life experience’ that we develop humility, compassion and a burning desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
If you have thoughts or information about how women in a similar situation can get help please…by all means…bring it on!
