It's been six weeks since I gave birth to our newest band member, our dear Damien Louie.  As it is with any moms who had just given birth and are going through the adjustments of caring for a newborn (hello sleepless nights or occasional even almost zero bath or solo time), of course I also experienced some level of depression.

This newcomer made me feel as if I'm again a new mom, nanganay talaga ako.  I also breastfeed exclusively so I have to be with him 24/7.  I have been staying at home since my bed-resting days (March, 2016) and for a full-time working mom, it's a major adjustment for me.  How so?  Suddenly, I have no one to converse with the whole day.  I have very limited physical activities.  I can't just go anywhere I want to go or grab the drink or food I've been craving for because I can't leave the house.  Suddenly, I don't own my time anymore.  I feel trapped and imprisoned.
