Depression (A Personal Poem)
The darkness is strong. It has presence. I can feel it.
Everybody belongs. Everybody serves.
The darkness is strong. It has presence. I can feel it.
About a month and a half after our first daughter was born, I started down a long journey of postpartum depression. For a year I went undiagnosed, going to the doctor complaining of extreme tiredness, severe mood swings, and disinterest in daily activities.
