Peuperal Psychosis

I am still in total admiration of how you coped with this and are still coping with it. Life is a funny one - you never know what you are going to get.
(Having only heard of this before, I recently met someone who has had it in effect twice, I do wonder if it never went away - she has had two babies, with a reasonably large 4 year gap. It was worse when it came back the second time apparently and she spent some months in a unit. Having re-read the posts above, I am aware that you know the statistics on this one so I feel I can say the relationship didn't last the second bout. The lady is now leading a relatively normal life. )
If more people approached mental illness like you, I feel there would be happier outcomes all round. I even know someone whose husband left her as she had PND and he couldn't cope with the idea that his wife was not mentally well.
Long may you stay poositive and hope that the move goes well.

Damn. Shouldn't have read this when I'm sat at my office desk. Where are my tissues?!
You're clearly a Saint. Glad to hear that things seem to be getting closer to normal.
