I love it when friends and readers reach out to me to share the fave things they're reading written by women with perinatal mood & anxiety disorders like postpartum depression and postpartum OCD. This week, I was informed of two wonderful pieces worth sharing …

BA at the Heir to Blair pointed me to this post by Amy at Somebody's Parents, who writes about her previous history with mental illness and her harrowing experience with postpartum OCD.

Meanwhile, Amber at Beyond Postpartum directed me over to this one by Allison Robicelli at the blog nonaBrooklyn where, among other things, she talks about how people react when you don't breastfeed and compares her experience with postpartum depression to her bout with stage-4 cancer.
