This was beautiful, raw and real. I so appreciate you sharing your journey and with the medication you took that helped you AND your friends. I got help but didn't go the medicine route or have supportive friends and continued to suffer causing longer term issues.

Thank you for sharing 🙏

We each go our own route, and make the choices that seem best. Those early months and years are SO influential in setting the patterns we carry moving forward.

Sending you love and support from here ❤️

What a wonderful and profound stroll down memory lane. You are a gifted writer Sarah, and brought to life a very vulnerable time in your life. But you came through and can look back and appreciate where you were and how you have progressed. And thank you for Karuna - our little spark of a granddaughter brings us love and joy every day!

What a very moving and beautiful story. I know it’s wonderful to have a daughter. I have 2 and 1 granddaughter. You have much to look forward to. There’s an old adage that girls are easier to raise than boys.
