I just wanted to pop in and say hello and I hope that you are all doing well.
Hi... Remember me? No? I'm Mel, and I used to be a very active member of this community. Then I got pregnant with my second child, and...
Okay, long story short, and because I have always been very honest with you guys: I got hit with depression. A lot of people are familiar with post-partum depression (baby-blues), but not so much with depression DURING pregnancy. How did I realize I was depressed? When I did not even want to talk about or read about Disney anymore. (That, and going to bed about 3 hours earlier than usual...). I'm much better now, with the help of meds and also my hormones not being out of whack anymore, but by the time I felt better I was so behind on everyone's TRs and my own that I was too overwhelmed to come back. I did a lame attempt a year ago, but that was actually during the height of my depression so it obviously did not work.
Now, I can't promise that I'm back for good, when I'll post my next real life or Disney update, reply to your posts, or that I'll be able to catch up on all your wonderful Disney trips, but at least I'm trying, right?
I can't wait to tell you all about my wonderful son, my new house(!), how much Peanut has grown, and what I've been up to in general.
Hi again, and thanks Mickeystoontown for kicking my butt (sorta) to come back.
