I am a survivor of postpartum depression.
I stand for the enlightenment of a society that hides from mental illness, a society that hides from those who struggle to recover. I am unwilling for my perseverance to be in vain. I am unwilling for our brave friend who suffered the dark night of the soul to have lived and died in shame.
In a world blinded by the pursuit of pleasure, I am here to say that many mothers are in pain. In a world rushing to get ahead, I am here to say that many mothers are being left behind. In a world obsessed with the value of the market, I am here to speak for the value of our lives.
