I read your reply (below) on a discussion in the group PPD support, and I was wondering if I can use it for my book. I have a section on PPD, but I also like to include parent comments and stories. I have many Twittermom stories in other sections. I would only use your first name or a fake one if you prefer. Let me know what you think.
"I didn't realize I had PPD until nearly 4 years later. I was reading The Female Brain. She described it in there and I got one of those prickly sensations like, "Crap, she just described me!" Now I can spot it in new mothers almost instantly. I think the experts do us all a disservice with their definition of it as being disinterested in the baby. That might be true for some moms with PPD, but I wasn't disinterested. I was overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, sad.... so not myself. But I never put her down. In fact the carrying her everywhere and not letting other people hold her was a part of the dysfunction".
Talk to you soon!
