I'm not sure where my story starts exactly. Or should I say when. I can remember as a teen having short bouts of depression but thinking they were fairly normal for any teenager. I can also remember having times of intense happiness and energy but again, thought those were fairly normal for any teenager. Mostly both were based on circumstances. When things were good in my life I was happy, when they weren't I tended to feel more depressed. I honestly still think that is fairly normal.
In my early twenties I think things progressed along about the same. I finished college, got married, had babies. You know, the usual. The first baby came along in 2003 and life progressed along. Life with him was all I imagined it would be.....sleepless nights, smiles & tons of moments of joy. 2 years later came his little sister & brother 3 minutes apart. Yes, twins!! And life really hasn't been the same since.
Having twins, they say, is double the joy and double the trouble. I'd have to agree! My twins are a blessing but after their birth my struggle with mental illness, if it didn't begin, certainly kicked into high gear.
More to come tomorrow. I'm just tired now. Always tired lately....
