| A little about me: | I am a 36 year-old mother of two of the best looking little boys you have ever seen, wife of a wonderful man, and blessed with a career I love. With both of my children I suffered horribly with, and was hospitalized for, postpartum depression. The first time was a horror, but the second time made the first look like a day at the park. I was put on Lexapro, an antidepressant, both times. The first time I took it for 12 mos. with no problem. Th second time, however, the Lexapro threw me into a manic cycle that lasted for nearly 3 mos. during which time I took a sledgehammer to my life. I became horribly manic, and I am a devout Christian, so I am sure you can imagine the horrible guilt I had when coming out of the mania. Men I should have been able to trust, one in a position of authority over me in our church, took advantage of me in this situation. My pastor was ignorant and even though he came to the hospital and heard the diagnosis, he gave the deacon a slap on the wrist and told me he would be afraid if I came back to church. I in no way hold God accountable for any of this. These people acted out of their own selfishness and/or ignorance, and they are not, and never will be, Christ. I love Jesus with all my heart, and while I do not understand why this had to happen, I do trust Him and beg Him to use this for His glory! |

| Sometimes we go through life and it seems like there is challenge after challenge. Why do we experience these? I don't know. One of the things that I have found is that there have always been friends for support. For that I am eternally grateful! |
