welcome steph. I too have had severe PPD, alongside my long-standing depression. My youngest will be 4 in July; when she was about 4mths old I was admitted to hospital for 4 months as things were so severe. At 1yr old daughter was 6-8mths behind devpmtally but we were beginning to bond. Now we have the closest relationship imaginable, she is ahead of her age-group in many areas and things are feeling really positive. I would love to get to know you, please feel free to PM me any time and we can chat Good luck.
