Book Summary
At 39 years old and just having had my first child, I
never imagined that I could be dealing with
postpartum depression. None of the baby books that I
read while I was pregnant could have ever prepared me for
what was ahead.
After my baby was born, whenever I cried or felt sad
everyone just kept telling me that I had the baby blues or that it
was my hormones still out of sorts. I was not sleeping; I
couldn't eat; I was anxious and nervous all the time. I suffered
panic attacks, and then eventually I thought I was going to
lose my mind and hurt my baby. I was living in fear.

It took four months before I was finally diagnosed with
postpartum depression and put on medication. I sought out
therapy and started doing my own research. This book is to let
whoever reads it know that postpartum depression shows itself
in many different forms. There are an array of symptoms for
this illness. However, with therapy and possibly medication
you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and make it
through. I have proved it. If you read my story you will know
that you are not alone.
