Mother’s Day Rally for Moms’ Mental Health {On the Move}

Filed Under: Blogs, Mental Health, Mental Illness, Motherhood, PPD

This Sunday, May 11th, Postpartum Progress–the world’s most widely read blog about perinatal and postpartum mood disorders–is  hosting its 6th annual Mother’s Day Rally for Moms’ Mental Health. 24 letters to new moms, one posted each hour on the hour, from women who have been there. I’m honored to be one of the writers for this annual event. 

Each of us knows how it feels. We understand the struggle of postpartum depression (or anxiety, OCD, mania or antenatal depression) and we want to offer our advice, comfort and inspiration to the many women who are in the midst of the fight with these very real illnesses. 

Mother’s Day is often a very hard day for women who are struggling. Its quite common to feel as though you’re unworthy of a day to celebrate you when depression is lying to you. But truly you are a gift to your child(ren) and we hope that as we rally around you every hour on the hour this Sunday that you might find hope.

I am so in awe of the list of fabulous contributors for this year’s rally. I have followed so many of these women and their blogs for a long time, and many are also good friends (whether I know them online or in real life.) And the best part is that many of them have been and continue to be a part of my own healing via online peer support groups and mental health tweet chats. The true power of social media for good. 

And so without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to this year’s list of contributing writers (including links to their blogs and twitter handles):
