The hormonal changes post-partum have made things rocky at times. One thing that can help is using your placenta after birth, either dried and put into capsules or in using in a recipe. It sounds gross, but I did the dried capsule bit this last time and it's helped so much and many women who have had problems with PPD in it's various forms have stated how much it's helped.

I was lucky and did not suffer from any PP issues but I have many friends who were not as lucky! I always think that if we can be strong enough to share out loud the thoughts and feelings we have that are most distressing someone else will benefits from it. Thanks for being that woman Monica!

More so then it used to be but I've had several friends who suffered and silently. I had a the baby blues for a few weeks and that was horrible. Mostly I suffered severe sleep deprivation due to no night time relief for months. The friends that later told me about their experience and the suffering alone, it breaks my heart. They were going through so much with no help. That's got to stop. Monica,
