Island Fever 3: Matrimony - Chapter 05

... Piper in her arms and be able to love, coddle and care for her. But what of the panic attacks Pamela had experienced since giving birth to Piper? The stress and anxiety? The loss of appetite, the extreme fatigue, her decreased libido and the feelings of sadness and emptiness? Did the fact that Pamela was actually ashamed of herself for not feeling more happy make her a bad mother, or a bad wife? A bad person? The answer, of course, was a resounding _NO_. Her body simply did not react very well to the process of giving birth and the recovery from it afterward. Her body's chemicals and hormones were in complete and utter chaos, and it would need plenty of time (and support) to properly heal and return to normal. I sat next to Pamela and held her hand in the office of the psychiatrist in a suburb of Cincinnati on Friday morning for 90 minutes and listened to her pour her heart and soul out to him. There were certain things that had been affecting her that I did not even know about, yet they added to her overall list of problems and the challenges she faced on the path to wellness. I prefer to keep them private - between her and me, and the rest of our little family - so will not expound. However, I will say that everything - at least in my mind - could be easily dealt with and taken care of in due time.

He did not believe that Pamela's Postpartum Depression was all that severe and, as a result, she would not have to stay on the medication for long. The only real cure for her would be a lot of emotional love and support and, most of all, time. Just time. Both of us felt comfortable around this psychiatrist and at ease; it was a shame that this would be Pamela's only visit to him. We would be back home in Norway next week, of course, and I already had a follow-up appointment scheduled for her with Amy's personal psychiatrist, Dr. Johansson. I had faith that Pamela would feel equally at ease with him. Originally after taking Pamela to the psychiatrist, I was going to drop her off at the hotel and pick up Kristanna, then go and have Christmas with my family at my sister's house in [City Name]. I pulled some strings with my family, though, and got that party postponed until tomorrow. I simply told them that something came up, and Kristanna and I could not make it today (of course, they did not know about all of the other ladies in my life). I wanted to spend the day out with Pamela and ...
