This is so good, I had to share. I have a similar past except for the self-harming. I was self-destructive in other way. But I had the post-partum depression that made me feel like a zombie and I also had panic attacks. Running has made a huge improvement. I truly believe God gave me running as a gift.
I know that many do not believe in postpartum depression. But I know that it definitely is. I’ve read a lot about how to deal with this here healthdarts.com
