You are Not Alone: My Experience with Postpartum Depression

More about the book

I wanted to walk out the door and not look back. Instead of feeling warm and fuzzy after the birth of my second child, I was angry and wanted to escape. Are you feeling something different than you expected after bringing home your new baby? Are you surprised by sadness, anger, despair, or hopelessness? You are not alone. You will get through this. Look up and around. There are people who want to walk through this with you. Consider this book a friend on the journey to healing from postpartum depression. You are Not Alone is a combination memoir and self-help devotional book meant to encourage any woman experiencing postpartum depression. With short readings and reflections taken from my journal during my months of postpartum depression, I wrote the book I wished I'd had in those dark days. It combines personal experience with information and strategies to cope, as well as spiritual reflection. It can also help a family member or friend to understand what a loved one with postpartum depression is experiencing.
