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.

Kaqun Wellness Round 2 Day 9

I'm sitting in my second bath of the day.  It is actually day 9 of round 2 of the three rounds I will be doing in order to get back up to par postpartum.  In the past I've made videos everyday of how I have been feeling but I want to make sure to not overlook my progress just because I'm not able to make as many videos this time around.

It's been an interesting round of baths this time.  I started taking cocoon baths about a year ago. They changed my life so much that I ended up making the choice to have another baby which is something I thought we would never do again. I came to Kaqun all through my pregnancy and even though I still experienced a lot of headaches and hormone pregnancy stuff, every time I would come take a bath in Las Vegas I would go home a little bit more sane. I struggled really bad with depression and anxiety through my pregnancy. Depression and anxiety are actually the biggest complaint I've had since I had my stroke in 2014.  The three biggest things that I've dealt with every single day since that terrible day in 2014 are manic depression, anxiety, chronic constant migraines.  Kaqun Wellness completely alleviated those things from the first time I came here. When I was done with my three rounds last year I was unstoppable.  I felt no pain after the very first bath I took.  It was miraculous.  my anxiety and depression were completely gone and I was back to being myself--something I didn't think would ever happen again.  I was volunteering at my kids school, finishing my own educational endeavors, keeping commitments that I made, rekindling old friendships that were lost due to my flakiness and so much more. 

So that was last year. Now I'm going to talk a little bit about what is going on with the baths this year. It's really interesting, I thought that because I was taking baths all throughout my pregnancy and trying to stay on top of oxygen therapy that when I came here post-pregnancy I would just be all better lickity split.  I was not anticipating a detox.  My first round of three times a day for 14 days was only one week postpartum. I came here with my baby and to the bath three times a day for 14 days. I had a detox where I got really bad migraines everyday but they would go away and so it was manageable. I was also really tired but that could just be due to lack of sleep from being here with a newborn haha.  

I'm now on my second round, taking 3 baths a day for 2 weeks. I am exhausted. Every day when I'm done taking baths I go back to my room, nurse the baby, then we both go to sleep for about 4 hours. Then he wakes up, I eat dinner, take the baby for a walk and we both go back to sleep and sleep all night... Well almost all night because the baby wakes up once or twice to nurse 😬.  I am also getting a pretty bad migraine every couple of days.  However, I have zero depression.  I'm enjoying every minute that I have with my baby here. There is no postpartum depression in my life right now which is a miracle. I struggled terribly with postpartum depression with my first two children and that was before I even had the stroke. I struggled with depression all through my pregnancy.  But I'm fine here now. I'm more than fine-- I'm happy.   I'm able to work on my own diet, I'm able to be happy and make good choices.  I'm able to see that the exhaustion  and headaches are part of a detox that is healing me for good and it's a very great thing happening in my body right now.  

I'm so incredibly grateful for Kaqun.  It is continuing to change my life for the better and will continue to change my life for the better.
