This post will be more about reaching out than about creating...
When it comes to someone with a Postpartum Mood Disorder of any kind (depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD...) I have heard the person who experienced it tell me what would have been helpful for others to do or say. I have also heard them share what was NOT helpful- but that's another blog.
I have heard from partners, family members, siblings and friends who didn't know what to do. Or thought that what they were doing and saying was helpful, but weren't sure.
So a question for you who have been in the place of experiencing a Postpartum Mood Disorder... what was helpful for you to hear? What was helpful for someone to do? What do you wish someone would have done or said?
