And so it begins...

I suppose an introduction is in order...



I am a 35 (soon to be 36) year old with three boys in my life:

• My husband Allan,


• My son Nathan, and


• My cat Casper

I suppose in a way Nathan is the catalyst for this blog. I gave birth to him at 0703 on 27 February this year and since then I have struggled to be 'normal' and have recently been diagnosed with post natal depression.

I find I am having difficulty coming to terms with this diagnosis. I am taking anti depressants and they are working so well I am beginning to doubt whether I was truly depressed in the first place. As a result I am feeling guilty and, I suppose, brushing any bad moments aside as tiredness.

I hope the blog will form part of my 'treatment' - allowing me to post thoughts, feelings and incidents as they arise and then letting me reflect on them at a later date.

More will follow shortly...
