We will adapt.

I would like to use my story of postpartum depression, psychosis, anxiety and OCD after the birth of my first child to help women who are drowning.

    Of course it all seems so terrible. Some kid must have bullied me. I must have struggled with school and was treated badly by the teachers… no none of that is what I’m talking about. I learned to hate others who are different than me. I was told not to get involved without “outsiders” they will drag me down and get me into trouble.

    Sorry I’m dictating so grammar be damned! (actually I dictate because it is so hard for me to text now with my movement disorder)

    But my point the religious school drove me so far into the ground that I came home and told my parents I was done as a sophomore. I would live in my car and sing like Jewel. They said let’s look into the public high school. I was terrified to go to public school after being in private Christian school my entire life. After all, those “heathens” Will drag you down.

    Well it was the same “heathens” that taught me what loving like Christ means. I was accepted at that school I was paid attention to one teacher stopped me one day and asked if I was OK. I was not. Public school no, the kids that went to the public school taught me what real love is when the private school just taught me to hate not only others but myself as well.
