If you feel alone. If you feel ashamed. If you’re still lost. If you haven’t told anyone yet. Or ever. If you feel like you’ll never get better. If you have gotten better and yet you still look over your shoulder. If you still grieve for the moments that have been lost to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. If you’re looking for people who’ve been where you are and who truly understand. If you’re ANY of these things, watch this video.
Postpartum Progress is so happy to launch our official video for Climb Out of the Darkness® 2015. We’re thrilled that we were able to secure the approval to use Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” thanks to Sony ATV. We’re thrilled that around 100 Warrior Moms shared their pictures from around the world so that we could show you
We hope you give this video a thumbs up on YouTube. We hope you share it with other mothers who have been through or are going through maternal mental illness, and the people who care for them.
Even more, we hope you:
1) Take your own Warrior Mom muscle pic, upload it to your Instagram account, AND BE SURE to include the hashtags #climbout #warriormom and #myfightsong. We’ll share those pics on Instagram (follow us on Instagram at @postpartumprogress and you can see the photos we’ve already put up) and on Facebook.
2) Join us at your local Climb Out of the Darkness next weekend. You can find a list of Climbs and how to join them here: http://postpartumprogress.org/climb-out-of-the-darkness/find-a-climb/ Registration is free. And if you go, you’ll very likely be meeting at least one of the mothers appearing in our video!
3) Ask someone to donate on your behalf! Anyone can donate to the Climb here.
I needed to see this today, at this moment
Amazing job Katherine Stone! We need to do SO MUCH better than we are with helping our mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters with these common and treatable conditions! Thank you Katherine! You are awesome!
I am at the stage of:
“…have gotten better and yet you still look over your shoulder. If you still grieve for the moments that have been lost to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders”.
Have been Struggling with an ugly postpartum OCD…
Thanks for this video, it sure gives hope!
Anyone with some words of encouragement for that “looking over the shoulder” stage?
Hugs to all the moms who are going or have gone trough this. Be strong, We will make it ! 🙂
Katherine Stone did an outstanding job! We must do a much better job of assisting our moms, spouses, sisters, and daughters with these prevalent and treatable ailments than we now do! Thank you so much, Katherine! You’re fantastic!
