  3. One of the hardest things for me to admit openly. I’ve dealt with PPD & anxiety after both babies and for the first time with this pregnancy. It’s under control now (“benefits outweighed the risks”!) but when I was in the middle of it during my 1st trimester & early 2nd when people would ask me, “Are you feeling better?” I would say out loud, “Yes…” but would think, “Physically, yes. Emotionally? NOPE.”

    BUT people can’t help and be there for you unless you TELL them. You’ve done a good thing.

  5. Anxiety sucks. I’ve dealt with it for most of my life, and unless you’ve felt it, it’s hard to explain to others how consuming it is. HANG IN THERE!!!!! XOXOXOXO

  6. Love you.

    I’m not sure if this will even mean anything, but even in your dark moments you seem like an incredibly cool person/wife/mother/friend. And gosh, I envy those that get to hang out with you all the time.

  9. Seems to be going around. I’ve been feeling really depressed/anxious lately, too. Makes you wonder if it can spread through the internet.

    Hugs to you, and I hope you know you’re loved by many.

  10. I’ve tried to comment on many of your posts of late but nothing I type up seems adequate. So just know that while you don’t know me, I feel like I know you from reading your blog. I appreciate your openness on here. I can’t imagine how hard this latest post was. I wish you luck and send prayers your way that you will soon be back to feeling like yourself!

  12. Casey, take all the time you need for you. I’ve had struggles with major depression & anxiety, so I can relate your words. I’m pulling & praying for you. And I’ll be here when you have more to share.

  13. ((hugs)) I know your pain though ours may be different. I am good at the hiding. Too good maybe. You get used to the hiding behind the camera/plastered on smile/the excuses/etc. etc. etc.

    Keeping you in my prayers…

  14. It probably isn’t something that cheese dip and really amazing Mexican will help, but next time (or anytime) you decide to come down to Louisville, I know where to find some. And sometimes it helps momentarily.

  16. I’m sorry! Fuzzy hugs your way. Please remember that some of this is probably still medication induced. It *is* going to lift. I’ll pray it lifts quickly and that you feel light and happy again soon!
