This is a great post from Penelope Trunk of the Brazen Careerist blog. She writes about experiencing PPD while working, and makes suggestions on what women should know about PPD if they’re the breadwinner in the family. She bravely shares what she went through, including the following:
"Then, one night, the baby was screaming and our three-year-old wouldn’t go to bed and my husband was telling me that I needed to get the three-year-old some milk and I was saying that he should and I’ll get the baby and he rolled his eyes, and then I took a knife out of the dirty dishes and stabbed my head.
I don’t actually remember doing it. I remember my husband saying, ‘Oh my god. There’s blood everywhere.’
Here’s how crazy I was: I just put the knife back in the sink and went to get the baby.
