I want to keep you Warrior Moms up on what is happening out there on the world wide web. So I’m going to start offering a weekly roundup of what women are writing about their experiences with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I won’t be able to link to everyone, but when women write very open and honest and beautiful things I will try and put links to them here. I think it will help those who are suffering to see what their peers are saying, and it will also help the writers because we can reach out and give them a virtual hug. Here’s this week’s Postpartum Progress roundup:

Here’s Julie at Letter 9 again, in a post called "In Which I Complain About How Much Postpartum Depression Sucks." I just love the way she describes her experience.

Jen at GNMParents has had PPD with her three children and is wondering if she’ll get it with her fourth, who is three months old. So far it hasn’t happened, thankfully.

Here’s a post from Jenna at adoptionblogs.com about postpartum depression among women who have relinquished their children. It’s important to remember that women who adopt children, and women who give their children up for adoption, are all susceptible to postpartum depression.

Janyce at What Shoes I Wear interviews Melissa, an artist, about her experience with PPD. I like how she talks about the fact that she did all the right things — exercise, seeing friends, etc. — and she still felt awful. Just because you do everything right doesn’t mean you won’t still feel bad.
