Question for Valerie

Elisa Camahort — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 16:22:43 -0600

I'm sure there was a whole audience for your book that wasn't expecting your segment on PPD, and would normally not be exposed to that part of your story.

Did you get a lot of feedback from the partisans and wonks and political junkies that read your book...and what was it like?

Lessons Learned?

Sarah Granger — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 01:22:54 -0600

Valerie: I have also suffered from depression and I have a strong personal commitment to public service. What I would like to know (having not read your book yet) is how struggling through depression helped you to survive the horrible challenges you faced after the security breach/leak. What skills or lessons did you learn from one scary situation that you were able to apply to others?

Thank you for your years of service to our country and for helping us all strive to do better.

This is great news! I'm so honored to have been a part of the Blog Day for MOTHERS Act. It's magnificent that we women were able to come together for a cause that deserves attention and legislation.

Better Late Than Never

Due to some health crises in my own family, I had my radar turned off. I'm glad to say I'm back in action and will continue to blog about the effects of PPMDs and other life-changing health problems at www.lifetransitions.blogspot.com.

Keep up the good work, Bloghers!

I have also been very active in writing my representatives and keeping my local media up to date. I'm sure they are tired of seeing my name!!

My Postpartum story

ifferjenn — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 19:09:05 -0500

Here's mine!

http://ifferjenn.vox.com/library/post/my-postpartum-story.html

It's been nearly 4 years since I started my crazy birth story, and I've told it many, many times. (Therapy will do that to you...) By all means, if any one wants more details, just leave a comment and ask...there isn't much I won't talk about there. :)

Despite being a canuck..I did one..

Post Partum Psychosis- I just blogged my history

andreazas — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 15:46:05 -0500

For the first time, i took the courage and gather my will to write about my experience with PPP in support of Mothers Act. Hope this inspires others to support the Act and to share theirs too as you Kathering have inspired me.
