Are there any mothers out there who have experienced this? I did two years ago literally days after my child's birth. It was my second major hospitalization and that time I didi not think I was going to make it. I've read information on the web and saw that it was very rare. It happened to me and was the most frightening experiences in my life. Luckily, with the support of my husband, family and strength within to know that I had a newborn to raise, I recovered. I literally know how it feels to loose touch with reality. There are only a handful of people that I trust know about my disorder and my hospitalization.After the first year of my child's bday, I finally decided to see a therapist consistently to process my thoughts and get support to control my bp. And it wasn't until recently that I found this online support group.
