Have you joined the Surviving & Thriving Mothers Photo Album here on Postpartum Progressyet? HAVE YOU?!!! We now have more than 60 moms who are great examples of how you can recover and thrive after postpartum depression and related illnesses.
If you are a survivor of postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis, antepartum depression, postpartum OCD/anxiety, antepartum anxiety or postpartum PTSD, you can serve as an inspiration to the thousands of moms readingPostpartum Progresswho may be suffering right now. They are thinking the same thing you did: I will NEVER get better. I will NEVER be the same again. You know that's not true, because you recovered. So show them what it feels like to be a mom now.
SEND ME YOUR PICTURE, like the moms below did,of you and your children so I can add it to the photo album. It doesn't matter how long ago you suffered, or how long it took you to get better — the point is that you're better. Just send a jpeg, your first name and last initial, the state you live in, and which illness you suffered and when to stonecallis@msn.com.
"Do I love this new person? I'm supposed to be completely taken up by this new human being I'm holding, (so they say) but actually, I feel a little detached." That's how many have felt, which inspired the creation of this book: http://www.iambruce.weebly.com
