Product Description
Real help, from women who've been there. brbr After she gave birth to a bouncing baby girl, Sandra Poulin felt like crying. And she did-for months. But they weren't happy tears-Sandra felt worthless, could hardly sleep, and had thoughts of death. Like too many mothers around the world, Sandra had no idea that this common but baffling condition had a name: postpartum depression. brbr What kind of mother, people wonder, could feel depressed after having been so richly blessed with a baby? The answer: every kind, women from all walks of life, from all over the world, young and old. And here, in a unique collection, are their stories of battles with PPD, with intimate details about the symptoms, the struggles, and the strategies that helped them emerge victorious. brbr Written by mothers, for mothers, this collection is an uplifting, enlightening- and perhaps even lifesaving- book.

5 out of 5 stars Someone else has been there too.   October 24, 2008
I love this book. Even two years after my own battle with postpartum depression I like to thumb through the pages and re-read the accounts of women who "have been there". It's comforting to know I was never truly alone. This book is a must for any women struggling with postpartum depression! It is easy to read, with no heavy clinical mumbo jumbo. Just heart felt personal accounts from women who suffered from postpartum depression and their triumphant recoveries that followed.


4 out of 5 stars Very helpful.   October 3, 2008
I think this is a great book for any woman who is struggling post partum. Part of the healing process is realizing you are not alone. Hearing first hand stories of women across the globe who struggled, but also recovered (and how), is powerful. Every woman experiences PPD differently...and this book covers the gamat of womens' experiences...from those who have high anxiety, depression, and suicide, and also covering special circumstances...single mothers, multiples, difficult births, etc. I don't think there is anyone with PPD who would not be able to relate to this compilation of stories. I'd highly recommend reading this book.


5 out of 5 stars I'm so grateful for finding this book   October 2, 2008
This book was a huge help. I didn't find it until after I recovered from PPD/Anxiety. Hearing other mother's stories was very comforting.


5 out of 5 stars Hope finally!!!   July 22, 2008
A friend of mine gave me this book and even though I am not a "big book reader" (it takes me forever to finish one), I could not put this one down.br /I had talked to other mothers with PPD, but I always felt that they couldn't relate, that my Postpartum Depression was different. Needless to say I felt very lonely and isolated. I read the book and I found women that I could identify with. For the first time in a long, long time, I didn't feel so alone anymore, and even better I had HOPE again. The road to recovery was still long and hard, but I knew that there was light at the end of the tunnel and that I could beat this horrible disease.

I found this book very helpful when I was first diagnosed with PPD. Knowing there were other women out there that had experienced similar feelings made me feel not quite so alone.
