Event Description:
Join us as Amber candidly shares her experience with PP Anxiety..."Through the first 3 month's of my child's life Postpartum anxiety robbed me of the joy of the early weeks of being a new mother. The constant physical and emotional side effects overshadowed my ability to utilize and trust my intuition. The insomnia turned me into a manic and voracious information addict which propelled me into further worry."

Event Description:
Join Amber as she shares how unexpected Postpartum Major Depression descended upon her and she got through it."Having always been a fairly cheerful person and having been so anxious to meet my baby, I could not have been more shocked to hear the words "no, I am not" leave my lips when I was asked whether I was ready to meet my son. How could I possibly not want to cradle and feed the child for who I had longed to hold and kiss? This moment was followed by numerous others totaling several months of a severe and clinical depression. The horrid sadness and hopelessness caused a desperate wish to simply fade away into nothing. The self-hate caused by the illness convinced me of my complete worthlessness to my family and encouraged thoughts of how much better off they would be without me. The lack of relief from the pain scared me almost to death...I knew I could not live very long feeling this badly."

Event Description:
Amber returns to share her experience with PP OCD."I was obsessed...the Postpartum Anxiety had caused me such severe worry that I became completely consumed by thoughts and infatuation with sleep. I spent a fortune at Amazon.com trying to find books containing the perfect formula for getting a newborn to sleep through the night as quickly as possible. But, even when my 9 week old started sleeping through the night, I still couldn't sleep. I was convinced that each action of mine or by someone else related to my baby was going to cause a irreversible and significant problem for my child. Allowing him a pacifier even while drowsy would cause a life-long dependency on his binky in order to sleep...how would he get it back into his mouth in the night until he had the fine motor skills to do so? Anything that could possibly be connected to me having to awaken at night caused me to panic and make an immediate change to "prevent" these catastrophes. The little energy my body reserved deep inside me was depleted completely by constant mental torment."
