W has used those words for where she is at, so I feel OK using them for her. Had she not described herself as such, I probably still would be leaning that direction. Except for her commitment to the kids (which is mostly on autopilot right now but is still there), she is questioning everything that I have known to make up who she "is" - her faith in God, our M, her job which she described a year ago as "the best job on the planet", her body (at 36, she says often how she is getting old).

How would you describe your W in the 6 months after S1 was born?
She seemed "better" than when our D5 was born. When D5 was born she was practically paralyzed with anxiety for 2 months and went on ADs. I took 3 months off work to take better care of her and D5 at the time. When S1.5 was born, we talked that first month a lot about how she was feeling and she indicated that she did not feel at all like when D5 was born. She seemed serene. She did have some sleep issues and irritability.
