Post-Partum Depression is a debilitating, albeit extremely common, condition that affects new mothers everywhere. Medication is of course one of the standard remedies, but before you opt for it, there are other, simpler solutions which could very well get you back on your feet without modifying your metabolism.. Here are several of them, drawn from accounts of actual users:
> Go to bed early and try to get a good nights sleep
> Lie down next to your heater vent and feel its comforting warmth
> Stroll in the park amongst the ducks, watching what they do
> Do things with your hands, perhaps a craft
> Work in the garden, watering plants and pulling up weeds; each is calming in its own way
> Buy yourself a fancy cup of coffee, savor its fine taste and aroma
> Play with your kids and make plans with them for what you will do together when you are feeling better
> See a therapist regularly and make sure you are totally candid with him
> See a doctor regularly and make sure you are totally candid with him
> Stay away from alcohol and other depressants
> Have a relaxing bubble bath or a shower with something...
