I’ve found that sharing in another mother’s experience with postpartum depression can be helpful during your own battle.  It is wonderful to know that you are not alone.  Below is a collection of my posts regarding my struggle with PPD.

If you or someone you know might be experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression and/or anxiety, the following websites are great resources for evaluating symptoms and finding help.  If you are having feelings of harming yourself or your child, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255 or dial 911.
