Louise’s story

[Kirsty]

I found this recovery story online and it’s really reassured me as iv been suffering for 2 years nearly and felt like I was running out of time and that I would be like this forever. Not only did it take Louise 3 years to totally feel herself, I am starting to feel more like me again. It’s been a long time coming but I’m finally getting there.

Keep strong and carry on fighting; remember the worse your storm is, the brighter your rainbow will be!!

Your all amazing mamas and you all WILL recover xxxx

Fab article Kirsty.

My son is almost two and I've only really felt myself for the last couple of months - the turnaround was very quick from feeling ok to almost myself again so it will happen!xxx

Great article Kirsty. From the NHS leaflet I was given on pnd I assumed I would be fully recovered in 6 months. My Pni was moderate yet I was ill for over 2 years which is common. It can take time and patience - find coping strategies that work makes a huge difference x
