Too often postpartum depression is a problem that goes unnoticed, and most women with PPD never receive any type of treatment. PPD is a treatable illness, and it is essential that we continue to educate ourselves and others about this important issue.

It kills me to think that so many mothers suffer in silence. Having dealt with depression, anxiety and ocd prior to my daughters birth I was very aware of my feelings and it only took my sister saying 1 time that I seemed depressed for me to go for help. Unfortunately I watched as my SIL suffered, refusing to get help. It was "only the baby blues" she was told and she tried to hide it from everyone. As I have said before you are a very strong person and there is someone out there who will be helped by your sharing. Thank you so much for sharing.

It brought back memories of my time without PooWee. I too put on the "happy face" when others were around. When they were gone...I was contimplating suicide. I don't think expectant mothers can be warned enough about the emotional roller coaster they may be on. I have a post I was planning on doing today, but I will now write on what I experience after PooWees birth. ((BIG Hugs)) Thanks for sharing your story.
