Overcoming Depression with Kaqun

I have always been prone to depression.  As a teenager I was either over the top happy orbelow bottom sad.  In other words, manic.  Then moving to Germany when I first got married I was really depressed.  I started flaking out on people and could not find myself.  I loved myself when I could find her, but I couldn't hold on to her very long before she would be lost again.  I got pregnant soon after being married and I felt mentally pretty well.  But after the baby was born, post partum depression was terrible.  I hated my body, I would cry randomly, I thought I could never do anything good enough.  Then surprise! I was pregnant again before the postpartum depression was over.  I got through my second pregnancy fine and then after baby #2 was born I got postpartum depression really bad again.  Then just as postpartum depression was lifting--I had a massive stroke.  That's obviously when depression was the worst and it never really left.   I tried antidepressants, pain medication, therapy-but nothing really helped until 5 years later when I find Kaqun, Bright Line Eating and got really serious about taking Balance of Nature every day.  That was a year ago and light came into my life and I felt so normal.  I felt like I did when I was a child.  I was happy, dedicated, reliable and sane.  Then we decided to have another baby.  My depression came back during pregnancy because of my brain injury.  But the ONLY time I felt mentally clear is when I would drive to Las Vegas and take a bath.  I would start to get into a depressed funk and Cedric (my husband) would say "I've got the kids handled, go to Vegas and take a bath." It was amazing.  Now finally on to the point in trying to make in this post-- I had my baby.  He is 8 weeks old now and I'm on my 3rd round of intense Kaqun therapy baths.  I came here for my first round when Lex (my baby) was only 1 week old because I KNEW postpartum would be dangerous with my brain injury.  I figured with the baths I might be able to experience normal depression and avoid the suicidal, scary, dark postpartum depression.  But guess what?! I have been HAPPY and CONTENT for all 8 weeks.  I can handle hard things, I'm not flaking out on people, I am enjoying time with my baby, I have not missed one family function and more that I'm sure I'm not thinking of.  Moms who struggle with postpartum depression NEED to come here.  I just bring my little cutie in the bath with me when he isn't sleeping and it is SO good for him.  I can nurse him while I'm in the tub, get amazing one on one time with him and enjoy the ride!
This sounds like a salesy post for Kaqun haha, but it's not my intention.  I just know first hand how terrible postpartum depression is and now I know how to safely, holistically avoid it and/or get rid of it fast.
