According to When the Bough Breaks: A Postpartum Depression Documentary, 1 in 5 women suffer from Postpartum Depression.I was 1 in 5.
My Story
A few weeks after Hope was born, unexplainable shame washed over me. I felt guilt about my guilt. I cried for no reason. At times, I felt helpless, worthless, sad, and empty. I experienced feelings of anxiousness and deep depression. I thought I was losing my mind.
I have a special place in my heart for moms and am fully committed to stopping Postpartum Depression dead in its tracks. No mom should suffer from Postpartum Depression. It absolutely positively can't survive if authentic communication and true face to face connection is happening on a regular basis. If mothers feel seen, truly heard, and deeply connected with, PPD can't continue.
The Solution
I discovered the solution after talking with hundreds of mothers. The solution is to provide a support network of mothers helping mothers.
