For live support from the privacy of your living room, you can find weekly Twitter chats for postpartum depression support. #PPDChats are held twice every Monday. My Postpartum Voice gives instructions on how to participate here.
I adore you.
You are BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING, SMART, TALENTED—and you don’t sound trite, by the way. Thank you for putting this out there. For being brave and sharing. For helping people like me feel less alone. Piper is 5 months old today and I’m still feeling like a shitty mother and crying a lot. And even though I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, it still feels lonely sometimes.
So thank you. Again. And again.
Congratulations on being featured at BlogHer and YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION!
*i will be okay. i will be okay. i will be okay.
Erin, you are so welcome.
And you will be okay. You will be okay. You will be okay.
Anytime you need me to tell you that? Just ask.
What a wonderful gift you have given so many women who are suffering from PPD and people like me who are suffering from depression after loss. Getting help can help. It is okay. We will be okay. Seeing your face was more powerful than a post. Again, this is a gift.
Much love. I will so hug you when we finally meet!
Brittany, if this lifted your spirits in any way, that’s a gift to me. Thank you for watching, for commenting, and for understanding.
Much love to you as well.
I think you will have helped many women who suffer from PPD, of any severity level – with this vlog, your amazing Afterbirth post and the resources you’ve listed.
Most of all, for being courageous in putting a face to PPD. You’re an inspiration.
What a wonderful gift you have given so many women who are suffering from PPD and people like me who are suffering from depression after loss.
