I'm so sorry to hear of htis Angel.

Has your sister seen a doctor?  I know that it isn't nice to pry and under no circumstances am I trying to suggest anything unwelcome, but many times with post partum depression, the effect of the physical stress put on the body during preganacy (matched with the lack of sleep) throws the body out of wack.  What I'm trying to say, is that often the body has suffered so much shock that it is a physical reaction (the depression) and comes across as something else like a mental thing.  Sometimes people need to take a proper perscription to help the body heal itself.  When I had my son, I had edema in my brain that left me with 24 hour migraines for a full period of 6 months.  I had to care for my son and do all the things wives and mother's do! I was lucky that I didn't suffer depression as well (as the migraines could have easily led me there). 

I finally had an appointment with a neurologist and was told that the swelling in my head was so severe that my body could not heal the migraines on it's own.  I had to take beta blockers for several months and eventually it all went away!

Perhaps it's something as simple as that for her.  Perhaps her body merely can't heal itself and she needs some outside help to do it.  Most people refuse medications related to depression because it makes them feel "crazy" but it is often a physical and chemical thing that can easily be remedied with the proper drugs.  I don't know to what extent she has searched into this issue of hers, I'm sure pretty far if she has been this way for 2 years?  Just thought I'd mention it just incase it could be of help to you.

Sending her lots of healing and hope.

Hi Angeleyes, I agree with Pewter, two years is a long time to go it alone if Mary hasn't seen a doctor.  She will probably feel much better sharing her condition with a professional, she can't go it alone, as her mental state won't allow her to.  Do you live nearby?  If so can you go with her to the doctor?

 

I will send healing and strength to Mary and huggles to her girls.

Hi Donna,

I know just what your Sister is going through, having had post natal depression for 3 years after my first was born. I was on anti-depressants, but they didn't seem to work..as if the problem went deeper. I found NLP to work wonders. I started re-programming my brain (so to speak) after about two years...I had daily affirmations, and had to completely change the way I thought about everything. After the third year.the black cloud just blew away. I still say my daily affirmations, as sometimes I can get so down that I can feel my self slide back but it is a fight. Your sister must Not give up! Hope some of what I've said here can help her. Sending love, healing and understanding.

loads of love
