My name is Michelle. I'm 24. I have an 9 month old child who is the most amazing girl and means the world to me. Her name is Grace. I have a husband of 2 years although we've been together for 9 years.
I started drinking at 13 with my parents. My dad drinks over a bottle of wine a night so i thought it was ok to do so.
Before falling pregnanyt with my child, i was drinking a bottle a night. The night before i found i was pregnant i had downed over a bottle. As soon as i found out (i did the test as i was board and wow what a shock) i stopped drinking right away.
I've also suffered from depression since i was 10. I had my appendix out and my body went into shock and after 3 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me, i was diagnosed with an illness called RSDS which will be with me my whole life (was in hospital for 6 years). At the time i had to have a genral anesthetic to cut my toenails. You couldn't touch my feet. Anyway, that no longer effects my life as i had a spinal cord stimulator implanted into my spin (Had to be awake the WHOLE operation, sitting up and was not alowed to move).
My depression comes back from time to time and i have suffered bad postnatal depression. After giving birth to my baby by c-section i suffered a terrible infection where i collasped and was taken to hospital. I got through that to have my husband (24 yr old) diagnosed with Cancer. All happened before my baby was 5 months.
What a year!!!!!!
Anyway, i'm so thankful for what i have, my baby, my wonderful house, my amazing husband and all of you on this site to give me strength. It's amazing!!!!!
SO you don't haveto go into as much detail as me!!!!
