The mom at My Journey Through Postpartum Depression writes about how people who have never had PPD just expect us to "snap out of it" … Grrrrrrr, that makes my blood boil … let's reach out to her a give her a Warrior Mom Virtual Hug …

    Thank so much for including my thoughts on the subject. Now that I feel stronger–and supported–I'm definitely going to continue to speak out about PPD.
