This is a list of blogs and a few websites that I think you may find helpful and comforting. My criteria:
- blogs focused on postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety/OCD, antenatal depression/anxiety, postpartum psychosis, etc. (this is what you write about primarily, or you have a category dedicated to it that houses several posts on the subject)
- blogs that are current, with a track record of active posting
- blogs that are fully supportive of the women who suffer, supportive of all types of treatments for these illnesses and factually correct (they use real research to back up any claims)
You will also find listed below some general blogs on mental health that I like, as well as blogs of other women in the blogosphere who I hold in high regard. You go, girls!
If you think you should be on thisblogroll and you’re not, it’s most likely just an accident. It’s hard to keep track of all you wonderful people. Just email me. Also, if you have a button you want me to add to your listing, please email me the code. ALSO, will you check & see if Postpartum Progress is on your blogroll? Hmm? It isn’t?!? If you’d like to add us please do, and if you need Postpartum Progress bling, look here. Link: http://www.postpartumprogress.com
