The mom at The Worsted Witch writes beautifully about postpartum depression:

"I feel like I’ve crawled out of a very dark and deep hole, clawing the earth with bruised and broken fingers on my laborious ascent. To say that I found motherhood an adjustment would be the grossest of understatements—the ground opened up below me and swallowed me whole as I fell, Alice/Persephone/Innana-like, skirts ballooning, into the worst hell I’ve ever known."

Sophie in the Moonlight again shares her feelings on postpartum depression and the importance of signing the petition for the Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act.

"Please go to the petition website and add your voice in support of women battling postpartum depression. My struggle with it was the worst experience of my life and I've had a lot of bad experiences and nasty depressions. Women dealing with postpartum depression are often bewildered by their thoughts and feelings and are reluctant to tell others that no, they are not feeling that This is the best, most precious and rewarding time of their lives; in fact, they have never felt worse. Let's help pass the legislation to give these mothers the tools and resources to get them back to feeling more like themselves and more at peace with being wonderful, perfectly imperfect, good-enough moms who are doing their best to take care of their families and themselves. The fact that a woman has become a mother does not mean that she is required to stop caring for herself. Actually, the opposite is true: when a mom takes care of herself and her health first, the health and well-being of her family will naturally follow. Believe me, I know, and now so do you. Go sign the petition. Please."

At A Mother Sojourn's blog, she shares the experience of her postpartum depression diagnosis and how it felt when things first started going south.

And the mom at Stumbling Barefoot writes about how it feels to be a military wife with PPD.
