@InsiderSeducao My cousin was murdered in Harvard Square. She was 9 months older than me. Every milestone in life I live I think about how she was robbed from living it for herself. She was 21 years old. RIP Io.

@MattPinner_ I rarely wear makeup. Mostly for weddings if Im a bridesmaid.

@Molaau6 Lastly, online judgements. The shame when unable to do "what is best" for your baby is horrible.

If you are struggling, find a group like La Leche league. You need to do what's best for you and your family and makes it possible for your family to be healthy.

@Molaau6 Doctors for a long time told Moms that Formula was better. It's why Breast is Best became a slogan after they learnt better.

I almost gave up in the first month due to latching issues, blocked ducs, infections in my breasts...So Painful!

Grateful I stuck it out, 2 yrs ea. kid.

@Molaau6 Pediatrician wanted my first off breast milk at 90 days. I switch Pediatricians.

So much pressure is applied to new Moms by Doctors, Grandparents, etc.

Then return to work, every 2 to 3 hours is hard. Again, I did it, but I get how Mom's can struggle with it.

@itxMaggei Do you consider the dead people? If so, 52.

@jessSaying0201 @FemCondition I gave birth to 2 beautiful babies & suffered PPD & anxiety, then Antepartem Depression. What you wrote is exactly what this case has made me feel. Why not take all that $$ & start programs like the one that saved me!? This is not the support & awareness we needed to help Moms.

[tara dufort @DufortTara]

@yermomnem @conservmillen This rationale seems most likely. When I had PPD my Dr said killing myself & leaving my kids behind was the most selfish thing I could do & it would fork them up for life. Clearly there was a worst thing.

She removed that guilt/barrier.

She is sick & culpable. Both can be true.

@JeremyDBoreing I was on meds from PPD when I got pregnant with my 2nd. I got depressed and told my Psychiatrist. He doubled my meds. I got worse. He doubled. I got worse, he wanted to double again. Found a partial hospitalization program, no more meds. I got better. We need more programs.

@MattWalshBlog It would be a better take to state that you believe there are people misdiagnosed who attribute the difficulties to depression when in fact its struggling to adjust to a new and very demanding blessing in their life..

[tara dufort @DufortTara]

@MattWalshBlog You could not be more wrong. If you want to speak to a woman who has experienced it & can share insights, I'm right here. I'm so glad your wife didn't suffer from it, its hell! My depression & anxiety was focused on fear of the world harming my babies. I was terrified for them.

@redheadranting Skip Trainspotting unless you want nightmares. Usual Suspects is great. I'd recommend organizing them by theme and then picking any night, depending on your mood. Goonies, Never Ending Story, and Mighty Ducks are classics for warming your heart and renewing your faith in people.

@Reika_CR1 @rancanoglenda7 When they took my niece from my sister, they told us we didn't deserve her. My sister was a single mom@19 in 2000. They lied & said awful things about us & to us. We were poor & unworthy. Found out later, she was adopted by a social worker's daughter when my niece found us @18.

@ElizabethDese @Oreofe_06 When I was a kid I got a refund for more than I was owed & felt l won the lottery. Told my older cousin and he dragged me back to get the correct amt. Told me I hadn't earned it & I didn't have a right to it bc of a mistake. My win could cost someone's job. So grateful to him!

@drpoppyBHRT Sounds like antipartum depression could have played a role. I had it horribly during my 2nd pregnancy. My brain told me horrible lies. I wonder if abortion clinics do any screening for this beforehand. Doubt it. She needed help, not an abortion.
