I live in a oil patch town, lots of people coming in and out so there really isn't a official total of people living here. I think last 'official' number was around 17,000 but it's more like 20-21000 when you consider the outskirts and all that.
And with that amount of people there isn't very many therapists. You know, the kind that say "And how do you feel about that?". And the ones that are in town? I just heard they have a 6 month wait list. What if you need help now?!
My friend needs help now. I think I need help soon. Before I have another child I would like to talk to some one. Because my son is 3 and I still cry when I talk about his first 6 weeks of life. When all I did was feed him and then hand him off to my husband and go back to bed. When I thought about giving him away so I could 'go back to normal'. It's sad to think that I wasted 6 weeks, that I hardly remember it. And it's maddening that I talked to TWO doctors, (male of course) and was told it was just the blues. It wasn't and it still haunts me.
So where is my next option. Going out of town for help I guess. Sad, really.
