I think I'm on that slippery slide (or is it a flying leap?  ) into post partum depression and anxiety attacks. This makes 5 for 5. 
Things are getting done here, thanks mostly to an accountability partner (waving, as I'm sure she's reading) and the handy dandy google spreadsheet we're using -- this is keeping me functioning. But everyone knows something is wrong. I won't bore you with details.
We are also discerning two huge issues right now (one related, one not) and dh and I are taking different stances on things, which is hard. The results of both might tear up our already shaky support systems - which is scary, and sad.
I would love your prayers. Thanks be to God they have kept me afloat many a time.

I have been going up to visit The Blessed Sacrament every day or so. It has help me so much to deal with my PPD. Fr Wade said in his homily recently on EWTN "Take it before the Lord", what ever it may be - (if you can get the time out).
I will keep you in my prayers during my next visits.
God Bless to you and your family.

Dear Amy
I am praying for you. I will pm you my telephone number - I am not so far from you if you want to get together or just talk.
I am praying constantly to keep afloat right now and I will be storming heaven for you.

Praying, Amy -- having just been through the PPD wringer myself.
Do you know what helped? I said a novena to St. Jude, because things just seemed impossible, asking him to intercede so my depression would be lifted. Several days after I finished the novena, I realized I suddenly felt a lot better -- not perfect, but much better. I have no idea what changed, except for the prayer.
I will pray for St. Jude's intercession for you, too.
