It is so very strange. I know that I am okay but I have this haunting sensation that follows me around all day tugging on my happiness, adding weight and burden to simple tasks and conversations. I do not have adequate words to explain. I am enjoying the new baby. Our family is adjusting beautifully. Breastfeeding and bonding couldn't be better. So what is it? What is wrong?
I look at myself in the mirror and I am confused by what I see. I can see the effects of the conflicting emotions on my face. My skin appears heavy upon my bones. My eyes seem numb and unaware.
And maybe the fact that there isn't an answer or a reason why is causing such panic in me.
So, for now, I guess I just wait. And hope.
