It's serious, to be sure, and I will never be silent about my struggle for the very reason that so many mothers I've talked to about what I went through have teared up in my presence and then admitted to me that they had similar struggles. It is so much more prevalent than I was lead to believe, and it was much harder to find support when I needed it than I would have imagined before going through it. I really relate to what you said about how some people think it's funny, and then see where you are coming from. Even mothers who never had PPD seem to be able to sympathize with what it does to the rest of us. I hope someone in your world learns from you, and knows they have a sister in spirit. Be well. xo skipthechipsPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783009258625787305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480590852857058206.post-91849691246407662842009-02-17T09:21:00.000-05:002009-02-17T09:21:00.000-05:00This brought tears to my eyes.

Anyway, one of the best things I did after both girls were in kindergarten was to find a post-partum depression group and do some clean up work. The other new mothers thought this was funny, but then they started to realize how serious things could be, and for how long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480590852857058206.post-21701311433657396062009-02-12T10:43:00.000-05:002009-02-12T10:43:00.000-05:00Wow.
