Postpartum Depression
Why me?
In the midst of depression I lost my daughter.
Not because I was a bad parenr but because I was filled with anxiety
The cries
The screams
There was nothing I could do to help my princess
Now Im angry
Yes Im mad
Why do I have to do this alone
Where is my family?
Why do I have to view parenting this way
Is it me
Is it my fault
What did I do to deserve this?
I love her
So why am I depressed?
Why do I feel like Im being pulled down?
Her smile awakens the happiness
But her tears frustrate sme because I dont know whats wrong
Am i crazy?
Am I psycho?
Why cant I breathe?
Why am I just looking at her?
Whats wrong with me?
Am I a bad mother?
My depression turned inro frustration and I just wanted her happy
Her screaming
Her crying?
Was it me?
Or is single parenting frustrating?
I need a break!
I need air!
I need quiet!
Here I was a single mom, completely aloned depressed, frustrated but tell me...
Was I wrong?
